Shrimp Pesto Pasta

Sweet shrimp, juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, sharp cheese, and delicious noodles combine for the ultimate dinner in a pinch.

INGREDIENTS:

10 oz. Linguini noodles uncooked

1 lb. Tail on peeled and deveined shrimp

¾ c. Fresh basil pesto of your choosing

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 c. Sliced cherry tomatoes

¼ c. Grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp. Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Cook the linguini according to the package instructions.

While the noodles are boiling, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the shrimp to the skillet, and season liberally with the Italian seasoning as well as salt and pepper to taste. Cook the shrimp until they are light pink in color. Careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and chewy.

Mix the cooked linguine noodles into the skillet with the cooked shrimp, and add in the pesto sauce and sliced cherry tomatoes.

Toss the noodles and shrimp with ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese, and serve. Garnish with chopped parsley if you choose.
