Spicy Shrimp with Garlic Basil Linguine

This was a quick and delicious meal that really hit the spot. I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's products, and their garlic basil linguine in this dish did not disappoint. I love meals that don't use a lot of ingredients but are still very flavorful. With the shrimp and a salad, this was just enough for the two of us.

Spicy Shrimp with Garlic Basil Linguine

That looks really good! I almost went to TJ's when I was in Green Hills today... but I went to Victoria's Secret instead! Haha... I'll have to pick some of that up next time I go.
