Shrimp Pesto Pasta is a super quick weeknight dinner that’s filled with buttery zucchini, tender shrimp and hot pasta that’s tossed in a homemade pesto sauce.<\/p>\n

Shrimp Pesto Pasta<\/h2>\n

Shrimp Pesto Pasta is a recipe that’s been on my site since 2010, but hasn’t gotten much attention because the photos were less than desirable.<\/p>\n

I love bringing old recipes to life with beautiful photographs. It will finally give this easy pasta dish it’s time to shine. Because let’s be real… this easy dinner has it going on!<\/p>\n

\"Saute<\/p>\n

I think what I love most about this dish is that it’s filled with all the flavors of summer. I start with fresh zucchini that’s cut into sticks and saut\u00e9ed in melted butter and garlic until it’s nice and tender.<\/p>\n

Toss in a bunch of large shrimp and cook until no longer pink. You can remove the tails of the shrimp for easy eating, but I just love how you have to eat this dish with a fork and your hands. It feels so rustic and fun.<\/p>\n

Once the pasta is cooked you’ll add some hot angel hair pasta right to the skillet.<\/p>\n

The original recipe called for cooked ramen noodles, which would also work, but I think an angel hair pasta that’s just slightly al dente, is perfection.<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/p>\n

Remember that Fresh Basil Pesto<\/a> Sauce I shared with you the other day?<\/p>\n

Drop a gorgeous amount of that fresh pesto in with the pasta and give it all a nice toss to evenly coat.<\/p>\n
