Spanikopita and Garlic Tarragon Shrimp

Had a bunch of leftover Phyllo Dough. Had spinach. Had feta.
The mission was clear, the choice was made.
Spanikopita would be had.




Just needed a main - something mediterranean to hold it down.
Garlic-Tarragon shrimp!
Marinated in garlic, sauteed with fresh tarragon, squeezed with lemon - did the trick.

Cut phyllo sheets in half, and lay individual sheets on the bottom of a greased baking dish, spraying each layer with cooking spray, then spoon out the spinach mix over top.
