Sexy Shrimp Dinner Lounging Temptingly on our Counter

🍤 What’s So Great About This Gluten Free Trader Joe's Shrimp Pasta?

Let’s break it down:

• It’s fast. Like “I forgot about dinner until 6:45 p.m.” fast.

• It’s flavorful without requiring 27 spices.

• It’s gluten free (because that’s how we roll).

• And it uses fully cooked shrimp so you can skip the fishy trauma and just eat.

This meal is basically a love letter to lazy people with good taste.

🛒 Trader Joe’s Shopping List:

• 1 bag Fully Cooked Frozen Shrimp (just thaw and you’re golden)

• 1 box Brown Rice Fusilli Pasta (gluten free, doesn’t turn to mush)

• 1 jar Garlic Spread Dip (this is the flavor bomb—don’t skip it)

• 1 bag Frozen Fire-Roasted Peppers & Onions

• Optional glam: a sprinkle of grated Parmesan and some chopped parsley

🍽️ How to Throw It Together Without Crying:

1. Boil that gluten free fusilli in a pot of salty water. Drain, rinse, and toss with a splash of olive oil to keep it from becoming pasta clump city.

2. In a large skillet, toss in the frozen fire-roasted peppers & onions. Cook until hot and slightly charred around the edges.

3. Add the thawed cooked shrimp to the skillet just to warm them through—2–3 minutes tops. Don’t overcook or they’ll turn into chewy little lies.

4. Stir in a generous spoon (or two or three) of garlic spread dip. Let it melt and turn into a sauce.

5. Add your cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together like the domestic badass you are.

6. Optional: Top with Parmesan and a sprinkle of parsley if you’re feeling fancy or want to impress your cat.

👩‍🍳 Pro Tips:

• Want it spicy? Toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes and a little extra garlic dip.

• Want leftovers? Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days (if it lasts that long).

• Want zero cleanup? Eat it straight from the skillet. No judgment.

🧡 Final Thoughts:

This gluten free Trader Joe’s shrimp pasta is your weeknight miracle. It’s creamy, comforting, and so damn easy, it practically makes itself. Whether you’re feeding picky kids, tired adults, or just yourself in pajamas at 7 p.m., this dish brings big flavor with zero stress.

Dinner: dominated.
