  7. Cook the shrimp for about 1 minute per side.

  8. Add the Spice Union French Chef's Blend, bacon lardons, garlic and cooked spaghetti to the sauté pan. Toss to coat.

  9. Add the reserved pasta water and lemon juice to the sauté pan and continue to toss the spaghetti until half the water is absorbed.

  10. Add the chives and remaining butter to the spaghetti and toss until the butter is incorporated into the sauce.

  11. Serve immediately.
