This dish is a great way to use up leftover shrimp and peas. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few modifications. First, I would use fresh shrimp and peas instead of frozen. I would also add more garlic and red pepper flakes to the pesto sauce. Finally, I would top the dish

I followed the recipe exactly and my dish turned out way too salty. I think it's because I used pre-salted shrimp. Next time, I'll use unsalted shrimp and see if that makes a difference.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more garlic and red pepper flakes to the pesto sauce. I would also recommend using fresh shrimp and peas instead of frozen.
