How about making a pesto with the spinach?

Thaw the spinach in a big seive or strainer with a clean white tea towel
weighted down with a couple of cans to press out the liquid. Then make a
pesto in the blender with EVOO, garlic and whatever nuts float your boat
along with some good quality Parmesan.

Saute the defrosted shrimp in olive oil, cover it with the spinach
pesto. Throw the whole thing on some linguini.

We live on the Texas gulf Coast so there is always a bag of wild-caught
Texas Gulf shrimp in the freezer. I have basil plants in the garden and
make pesto from the leaves. Pesto shrimp over a little pasta is one of
our favorites with a nice salad on the side.
