Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spicy Shrimp Pasta
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the whole wheat spaghetti, stirring occasionally. Cook according to package instructions, about 8–10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of cooking water.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the broccoli and yellow bell pepper with a pinch of kosher salt. Cook for 2 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Incorporate the minced shallot into the skillet and continue to sauté for an additional 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds, then pour in the spicy arrabbiata pasta sauce, stirring well.
- Lower the heat, allowing the sauce to simmer before adding the raw large shrimp. Stir gently and cook for about 5 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Add the drained spaghetti directly to the skillet. Toss the pasta with the sauce, shrimp, and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.
