03 - 5 oz andouille sausage, sliced into half-moons
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

10 - 2 cups fresh arugula

# Steps to Follow:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add andouille sausage slices and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, 1–2 minutes per side. Season with salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and chili flakes.
04 - Return sausage to the skillet. Add drained pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss to combine. Stir in lemon juice and arugula, cooking just until the greens wilt.
05 - Plate pasta mixture immediately and garnish with lemon wedges.
