• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.

• Add garlic and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) chilies. (Like things spicy? Add more chilies!)
• Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant.

• Remove the pan with veggies from heat, then add spinach, pesto, cream, goat cheese, lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice.
• Season with pepper, then stir for 1-2 min, until spinach wilts. Set aside.

• To the pot with linguine, add veggies, shrimp and sauce, reserved pasta water, half the Parmesan and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
• Divide shrimp. zucchini and lemon linguine between bowls.
• Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
• Squeeze a lemon wedge over top and sprinkle with any remaining chilies, if you like.
