Ingredients

• 1 pound Trader Joe's Raw Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 12 ounces Trader Joe's Fresh Linguini
• 3 medium Shallots (thinly sliced)
• 4 cloves Trader Joe's Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Trader Joe's Chili Pepper Flakes
• 3 tablespoons Trader Joe's Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 0.5 cups Trader Joe's Dry White Wine
• 1 large Lemon (juice and zest)
• 2 cups Trader Joe's Baby Spinach
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black Pepper
• 0.5 cups Trader Joe's Parmesan Cheese (grated)
• 2 quarts Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, add the Trader Joe's Fresh Linguini and cook according to package instructions (about 3-4 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the linguini.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat Trader Joe's Olive Oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and Trader Joe's Chili Pepper Flakes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic brown.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the raw shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and are fully opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and deglaze the skillet by adding the Trader Joe's Dry White Wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the unsalted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Allow the butter to melt completely into the sauce.

Step 7

Add the cooked linguini, reserved pasta water, and Trader Joe's Baby Spinach to the skillet. Toss well to coat the pasta in the sauce and wilt the spinach.

Step 8

Return the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Serve the pasta hot, topped with Trader Joe's Parmesan Cheese and an extra sprinkle of chili flakes or lemon zest if desired.
