I’m a restaurant owner who loves shopping at Trader Joe’s. Here are 8 items I always keep at home.

Meal hackers, rejoice: Trader Joe’s lobster bisque really shines as the quickest killer pasta sauce.

Just sauté some diced garlic and onions, add shrimp (or even the Trader Joe’s langostino tails, if you can find them), toss in your pasta, and you’ll have a restaurant-quality meal in no time.
