Garlic Pesto Shrimp Linguine with Tomatoes
Sautéed shrimp and blistered cherry tomatoes are tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with whole wheat linguine for a fresh and satisfying dinner.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Shrimp
1.25 oz Whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp Basil pesto
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water before draining.
Pat the shrimp dry and season them evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to blister.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked linguine, reserved pasta water, and basil pesto to the skillet.
Toss the pasta continuously until the pesto emulsifies with the water to create a light, silky sauce.
Fold the shrimp back into the pasta and stir in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
