Instructions
- Bring 2 quarts of salted water to the boil in a large stock pot. Quickly blanch the broccoli and red pepper strips for 2 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and plunge in bowl with ice water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- Add the fresh shrimp and quickly cook for 2 minutes in boiling water, or until they turn pink. Don't overcook! Remove from water and set aside. If using thawed, frozen shrimp, cook in boiling water for a minute to heat through, then set aside.
- Boil pasta for 9-10 minutes and reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Drain and set aide.
- In the same stock pot add the olive oil and pesto. Cook on medium heat for a minute. Add the reserved pasta water and stir to thin the sauce. Drain the vegetables. Add the pasta, vegetables and shrimp to pot and toss to combine. Cook covered for a minute on low to heat everything through.
- Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional). I also like slices of fresh lemon to squeeze on top, but that is up to you.
