Shrimp Spaghetti with a Kick
with Garlic Herb Butter & Green Beans
- Shellfish
- Wheat
- Milk
These are some fightin’ shrimp! In this dish, the shellfish are given a feisty kick thanks to slices of chili pepper. That’s sure to please heat-lovers, but you can always make adjustments if you prefer to walk on the mild side. Toss in zucchini, garlic herb butter, Parmesan, and al dente pasta, and everything comes together in a piping-hot pile of perfection.

Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once water is boiling, add linguine to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.
Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.
Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Thinly slice chili.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and as much chili as you like; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
Push zucchini mixture to one side of pan; add a large drizzle of olive oil to empty side.
Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
Add drained linguine, garlic herb butter, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings) to pan with shrimp mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Toss until everything is thoroughly combined. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce.
Divide pasta between bowls. Top with remaining Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with any remaining chili to taste and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Love the flavors of this one plus it was so quick and easy to make. It also had a very generous amount of shrimp.
This was amazing! The flavors!!! I added more Italian seasoning and EVOO to the noodles while cooking and it turned out better than I expected. One addition to this meal should be a 8 oz. sirloin and chimichurri sauce just to add a little pizzaz lol.
Thank you for including the herb butter packet. Seems much nicer than me having to melt butter and chop garlic. An appreciated time saver!
Little too much of a kick - next time will not use all the spice
Not enough seasonings or kick. I added extra seasoning to everything once complete tasted better but the sauce was more or less, just oil!
Don't need that much spaghetti for just two of us-- next time I'll just cook half the box and save the rest for another meal.
Out of this world. Zucchini doesn't really reheat well, so it should probably be eaten in one sitting.
Delicious! Added broccoli and red pepper flakes for even more flavor.
Who knew something so simple to prepare could turn out so well.
There was no chili in the package. I added red bell pepper and cayenne, also mushrooms. Delicious!
