Garlic Butter Shrimp with Spinach Pesto over Pasta
Ingredients:
8 oz linguine or spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts
1/3 cup olive oil (for pesto)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Optional: red pepper flakes and extra Parmesan for topping
Directions:
Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a food processor, combine spinach, basil, Parmesan, pine nuts, and lemon juice. Pulse while slowly drizzling in olive oil until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Lower heat, add cooked pasta to the skillet with the shrimp. Pour in the pesto and toss to coat evenly, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the sauce if needed.
