Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and pink, then stir in the fresh spinach until just wilted.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, then drain the linguine.
Add the cooked linguine, reserved pasta water, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and basil to the skillet.
Toss everything together for 1 minute to emulsify the sauce and coat the pasta evenly before serving.
