Pesto Parmesan Pasta and Shrimp
- Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
4 oz dry whole wheat pasta (I use penne equals 1 cup per person)1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil1 tbsp lemon juice from concentrate3 tbsp of light parmesan cheese (Kraft)26-30 deveined and shelled shrimpbasil (2 or 3 shakes)cilantro (2 or 3 shakes)dill weed (2 or 3 shakes)garlic powder (I like mine garlicy so I do about 3 or 4 shakes)1/2 - 1 tbsp of margarine
Cook pasta. Since shrimp doesn't really take that long I usually start cooking it about 1 -2 minutes before pasta is ready and I usually cook it in a little margarine in the microwave for about 2 - 3 minutes (depending on how strong your microwave is). Once pasta is cooked, toss parmesan, olive oil, margarine, lemon juice and spices with pasta in a small dish.
Serve promptly topping pasta with cooked shrimp (approx 13 per person) and a sprinkling of basil.
Your favorite veggies will compliment this meal well (especially asparagus, yum!)
