  • 1 pound cavatappi pasta
  • 7 ounces pesto sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cut into 1/4 inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together until the shrimp is well coated.
  3. Lay the shrimp out onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
