Pesto Shrimp
I love pesto in many different dishes and here is a super easy way to make pesto shrimp. This can be made in a matter of minutes and is great on its own or stirred into a plate of pasta
Shrimp cook really quickly in the frypan. Watch them and once they turn pink they are essentially cooked. About 2 minutes per side is likely all that is needed and you will have tender succulent shrimp. Stir in the pesto after the frypan is off of the heat. The pesto does not need to cook and it actually tastes best with that fresh basil flavor.
