Shrimp and Pesto Linguine


Shrimp and Pesto Linguine is a quick meal and a great way to use your fresh basil pesto from your herb garden.

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 12 oz package of linguine
  • 1 lb large, raw peeled shrimp
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 Roma (plum) tomatoes
  • 6 oz of homemade basil pesto – or store bought 6 oz tub
  • ¼ cup freshly chopped Italian parsley
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Boil 12 oz linguine until al dente, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and sauté over medium-high heat for 2 minutes or until shrimp are all pink. Do not overcook or shrimp will become tough. Add diced large plum tomatoes, basil pesto and 1/4 cup chopped parsley; toss until hot.

    Remove from heat. Toss with drained pasta and add reserved cooking water as needed. Top with fresh grated Parmesan and serve immediately.
