SHRIMP AND VEGGIE PESTO PASTA



Shrimp and Veggie Pesto Pasta image

Pasta can be flavorful... and healthy This spicy, garlic pesto shrimp pasta is packed with mouth-watering flavors. Its still creamy from the pesto yet light without all the heavy cream that is typical of pasta dishes. The charred broccoli in the dish brings a great crunch to complement the shrimp. This dish is truly the best of both worlds... flavor and health. I used an orecchiette pasta from Italy for this dish, but feel free to incorporate your favorite type of pasta. I have tried this recipe in the past with angel hair pasta and spaghetti.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 18m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 garlic cloves
1 bunch parsley
1 lb shrimp
1/4 th cup pesto sauce (used this pre-made italian version which can be found here )
1 dash black pepper
1 jalapeno
1 dash dried basil
1 dash dried oregano
1 dash red pepper flakes
1 cup broccoli, florets (I used broccolli, but this would also go great with mushrooms, asparagus, or zucchini)
1 lime
1 dash parmesan cheese, grated (for topping)
2 cups pasta (of your choice, I used orecchiette )

Steps:

  • Grind the garlic, parsley and jalapeno into a paste.
  • Heat olive oil in low heat, and add the parsley pesto blend (from step #1) into the pan.
  • Add in the shrimp to this mix.
  • Cook on low heat for a few minutes Add the lime, salt, and black pepper at this point. You want to heavily coat the shrimp with the black pepper.
  • After cooking for 5-7 mins, add the broccoli florets, pesto, and all other spices. Stir in and cover for 5-10 minutes.
  • Once the flavors are cooked into the shrimp and the veggies, it will form a gravy. At this point you can add in the pasta.and stir. You can avoid overcooking the shrimp by turning off the heat before the shrimp start to form into circular rings.
  • Top with a heaping spoonful of Parmesan, and serve! Voila!

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your taste.
  • Serve the shrimp with roasted garlic pesto pasta immediately, garnished with fresh basil.
