Scallion Garlic Pesto Shrimp Pasta

Do not overcook shrimp—curl and color change is enough. This pesto uses scallion greens and garlic (not classic basil pesto).

Steps

How to make it

Prep 8 min · Cook 14 min

  1. Rinse and pat shrimp dry; boil pasta until al dente; reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
  2. Blend scallion greens (green parts only), garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, and cheese into a pesto paste.
  3. Remaining oil in skillet; cook shrimp until opaque; set aside. Same pan—pasta, pesto, and pasta water; toss; return shrimp and fold gently.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

  • Thaw frozen shrimp fully and dry well so the pan does not steam.

Best fresh; shrimp toughens overnight.
