Ingredients

2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

16 oz Shrimp, cooked

.5 tsp Pepper, red or cayenne

5.33 serving Mushrooms, Fresh, White Button, Sliced (3 oz / 85g)

3 clove Garlic

2 dash Salt

4 serving Basil Pesto (2 tbsp)

.5 cup (8 fl oz) Chicken Broth

1 tbsp Basil

6 oz Weyauwega Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Curds

0.75 cup Cauliflower Rice - Costco

Directions

Heat large skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Add olive oil - it should run without sizzling. Add shrimp, season shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, cook for about 3 minutes, turning once midway, until shrimp is pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet.
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same, now empty, skillet. Add sliced mushrooms. Add minced garlic. Season mushrooms with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms release liquid and reduce in volume and get soft, for about a minute or two. Add back the cooked shrimp. Add 1/2 cup basil pesto and 1/2 cup chicken broth. On medium heat, mix everything to combine. Remove from heat.

When ready to serve, top the shrimp with chopped fresh basil.
