Pesto Shrimp & Pasta

Pesto Shrimp & Pasta - The Queen in Between
I’m always looking for an easy recipe that will please the family so when I saw Kristy at Seven Graces Blog posted her easy Chicken Pesto Pasta I knew I had to try it out.  I almost always have Buitoni pesto on hand and while I didn’t have chicken I did have some shrimp!

I also happened to have linguine for another recipe I had never gotten around to preparing. I’m sure any noodles and pesto would work but I love the Buitoni brand.

This really could not be easier!  Use half the pesto to cover the bottom of the pan before layering the peeled, deveined shrimp on top.  Then top the shrimp with the other half of the pesto.

Pop it in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes while you boil the linguini.

Top with some grated parmesan cheese and tada, you have dinner!  I promise there will be no shrimp left behind.  Even if you are skipping noodles, these shrimp are great over a bed of spinach.

For another great shrimp dish check the Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli which is another family favorite.

  1. I love this dinner idea! I get stuck cooking chicken all the time, so this would be a great way to mix it up! Thanks for sharing!

  2. I can't do shrimp. It's too soft. The idea just makes me gag. BUT you had me at noodles. So I'll just have a bowl of those when I'm over for dinner, mmkay?

  3. Oooh I love shrimp and I bet it is so tasty with the pesto! Popping over from #TastyTuesday Kirsty Hijacked By Twins x

  4. haha! Maybe you need to cook it more? I have issues if the shrimp is too big, if I can't eat it in one bite then I start to think of them swimming around in the ocean all happy and then I get grossed out and can't eat any more…hehe.

  5. That looks so delicious! I have found a new love with pesto! It's so versatile and makes meal time so easy when I'm in a pinch!

  6. I am all about a quick and easy dinner, this looks delicious and good enough to serve for a dinner party! Mmmmmmm!!
