    Add white parts of green onion and chili garlic sauce to skillet; cook 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and water; increase heat to high. Heat to boiling. Add spaghetti; return to boiling, stirring constantly to prevent noodles from sticking together. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, 13 to 15 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir in shrimp and baby greens; cook about 30 seconds or until shrimp is heated through and greens are slightly wilted.
