How to Make Shrimp and Zucchini Scampi:

1. Cook the shrimp in olive oil for approximately 3 minutes or until cooked through.
2. Once cooked, transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside.
3. Put on a pot of water and boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook linguine for 5-7 minutes, then strain. Save 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
4. While the pasta cooks, grab a skillet and add zucchini, tomato, garlic, butter, and spices.
5. Cook mixture for about 5 minutes or until zucchini is almost ready.
6. Add white wine, spinach, and salt. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to cook off alcohol.
7. Next, add the linguine and shrimp into the vegetable mixture.
8. Add 1/4 cup of pasta water, lemon zest, and parsley to the pot. Pasta water is a great way to lightly thicken the pasta sauce.
9. Cook for an addition minute or two.
10. Plate and garnish with leftover parsley and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
