Spicy Shrimp & Zucchini Pasta (Arrabbiata)

This Spicy Shrimp & Zucchini Pasta puts Savory Spoon’s Arrabbiata sauce front and centre. Bright, bold, and a little fiery, it’s a clean-ingredient pasta dish that feels restaurant-level but comes together fast enough for busy weeknights

Serves: 4 | Time: 20 minutes | Serving Size: ~2 cups

Ingredients:

• 1 jar Savory Spoon Arrabbiata

• 400 g pasta (penne, rigatoni, or linguine)

• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 1–2 zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)

• Zest of 1 lemon

• Fresh parsley, chopped

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta
   Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.

2. Cook the shrimp
   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using), and cook 2–3 minutes until just pink. Remove shrimp to a plate.

3. Sauté the zucchini
   In the same skillet, add zucchini and garlic. Cook 3–4 minutes until the zucchini is tender-crisp.

4. Add the sauce
   Pour in the jar of Savory Spoon Arrabbiata. Stir and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.

5. Combine
   Return shrimp to the skillet, add cooked pasta, and toss to coat. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if you want a looser sauce.

6. Finish & serve
   Top with lemon zest and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
