Cooking Steps

Cook pasta
1
  • Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add corn to the dry pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, flipping halfway through, until dark golden-brown, 4-5 min.
  • Transfer corn to a plate.
Prep and cook shrimp
2
  • Meanwhile, zest, then cut lime into wedges. 
  • Cut shallot in half, peel, then cut into 1/4-inch slices. 
  • Core, then cut hot pepper into 1/4-inch pieces, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping peppers!). 
  • Roughly chop cilantro. 
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the same pan (from step 1) over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp ) oil then shrimp to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 3-4 min.** Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Cook veggies
3
  • Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan (from step 2) over medium-high. Add peppers and shallots to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min. 
  • Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper. 
Make sauce
4
  • Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add cream cheese, Tex-Mex Paste and reserved pasta water to the pan with peppers. 
  • Cook, stirring often, until cream cheese has melted, 2-3 min.
Assemble pasta
5
  • Add sauce, cream, corn, lime zest and half the cilantro to the pot with linguine. Toss to combine. 
  • Season with salt and pepper. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide pasta between bowls. 
  • Top with shrimp.
  • Sprinkle over remaining cilantro and feta. 
  • Squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.
