Imagine serving an elegant mid-week dinner in less than 15 minutes. Plump, juicy, tender shrimp bathed in a sauce of fresh olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon zest and sweet grapefruit, on a bed of pasta. Think of the time you save by using on-hand pantry ingredients with no need for cutting or chopping.

1 cup GREMOLATA extra-virgin olive oil 2 tbsp GRAPEFRUIT White Balsamic 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes or 1 chopped red chili 2 pounds fresh, shelled and deveined medium/large shrimp 1 small package linguine (or 1/2 large package) 1 tsp Kosher salt

Add pasta and stir with tongs until shrimp are distributed evenly, adding extra pasta cooking water as needed. Add Grapefruit balsamic and stir. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Place in pasta bowls. Season with salt before serving. Optional: Add shaved or grated fresh Parmesan and fresh ground black pepper before serving.
