Cook Along

1 Prepare your ingredients:

Heat large pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and mince the garlic and shallot. Pick the mint leaves off the stems. Small dice the sweet pepper.

2 Cook the pasta:

Add the spaghettini to the boiling water and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain thoroughly.

3 Cook the shrimp:

While the pasta cooks, heat some olive oil in a large pan on high until hot. Add the shrimp and sweet pepper. Season with salt and cook about 30 seconds, or just until the shrimp start to turn pink, stirring.

4 Finish the shrimp:

Add the garlic, shallot, and red pepper flakes. Cook 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic, stirring. Stir in ½ cup of the chicken broth and remove from the heat. Season with salt to taste.

5 Add the pasta to the sauce:

Add the cooked pasta to the shrimp in the pan. Cook about 1 minute on high, or until the pasta absorbs some of the broth. Squeeze in the juice of half the lemon. Tear up half the mint leaves before adding them to the pan. Stir to combine and season with salt to taste.
