Ingredients:

6 oz multi-grain spaghetti pasta or whole wheat pasta
1/4 cup multi-grain croutons, crushed or panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 tbsp grated lemon zest
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 lb large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 tsp seasalt
1/4 cup organic low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/4 dry white wine
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
6 black pitted and chopped olives such as kalamata (about 1 tbsp)

6. Stir in the spaghetti, the remaining 3 tbsp parsley, and the remaining 1/2-tbsp zest, tossing to coat well; remove from the heat.
