One of my favorite dinners to make is a nice shrimp pasta with a salad, bread, and some wine.  This Easy 15 Minute Basil Pesto Shrimp Pasta is a great addition to my favorite recipes.  My other favorites are Lemon Shrimp Linguine and Shrimp Scampi.

Most Friday nights, we do like to go out to eat somewhere because I just don’t feel like cooking and cleaning the kitchen.  We all have those nights, right?  But sometimes, staying home in my cozy clothes and making a pasta like this one sounds even better than going out!

What makes this Easy 15 Minute Basil Pesto Shrimp Pasta recipe so easy?  

  • I use already prepared basil pesto.  Use your favorite kind.  I am allergic to peanuts, so I have to be careful of some pestos.  I like to use this Classico brand.  
  • This recipe only requires a few ingredients, which always makes a recipe appealing.  
  • This Basil Pesto Loaf would be amazing with this pasta!
