How to Make Pasta W Pesto Shrimp
- Season 1 pound of shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of pasta (your choice of shape) and cook according to package directions, usually 6-8 minutes.
- Drain pasta and rinse with warm water. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and curled.
- Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 1/4 cup dry white wine and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in 1/2 cup pesto and cook until heated through.
- Return shrimp and cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to combine and heat through.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, and 2 cups fresh spinach. Toss until wilted and coated in the sauce.
- Serve immediately with crusty garlic bread. Enjoy!
