PENNE WITH SHRIMP AND BASIL PESTO

PENNE WITH SHRIMP AND BASIL PESTO

A North American classic for all shrimp aficionados. A real treat for the taste buds, we love its freshness and it's a great way to use the pesto you made at the end of the summer (or store-bought). A quick weeknight meal that is far from boring!

Preparation

  1. Cook pasta in boiling salted water, according to instruction on package. Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water.

  4. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add pesto to the shrimp mixture and immediately remove from the heat.
  6. Add the drained pasta to the frying pan and some of the starchy water and toss the shrimp and pesto to coat.   Serve.
