PESTO SHRIMP PRIMAVERA



Pesto Shrimp Primavera image

This is a simple dish. If you use the already made pesto in the refrigerated section, people will think you worked forever to make this. I can not eat this-I'm allergic to seafood--but my family tells me it's wonderful (I hate them).

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1 lb) package penne pasta, cooked according to the package
1 (7 ounce) container of refrigerated pesto sauce, divided (or make one if you like)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 small red onion, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and slice about 2 cups
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and divined
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Toss the hot penne pasta with 3 tablespoons of pesto sauce. Put pasta on large platter and cover to keep warm.
  • Over medium high heat, cook the peppers and onion in oil 8 minutes. Add the zucchini, shrimp and salt; cook for 8 more minutes or until the shrimp are opaque, stirring frequently.
  • Top the pasta with mixture; add the remaining pesto and toss.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for shrimp that are plump and have a slight briny smell, and use fresh vegetables that are in season.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to watch them carefully and remove them from the heat as soon as they are cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your dish. Some good choices for shrimp primavera include broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and mushrooms.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really bring your dish together. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own sauce, be sure to use fresh herbs and spices.
  • Serve immediately. Shrimp primavera is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the shrimp are still tender and the vegetables are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Shrimp primavera is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its combination of fresh shrimp, colorful vegetables, and flavorful sauce, shrimp primavera is sure to please everyone at your table.
