Quick Pesto Shrimp with White Wine
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 15 minutes (with pre-made pesto and peeled/deveined shrimp)
Suggested Side: Baked Mini Heirloom Tomatoes with Onions & Feta
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
pinch of salt/pepper
1/4-1/3 c. pesto (using recipe above or your favorite pre-made)
1/4 c. white wine or dry vermouth for deglazing the pan
Method:
1. Heat olive oil over high heat in a large saute pan. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper.
2. Once oil is shimmering, toss in shrimp and pesto, quickly mixing together until the shrimp are well coated in the pesto. Let sit to saute for a minute or two, making sure both sides of the shrimp get some time on the pan.
3. Pour in a splash of wine or vermouth and scrape up all the brown bits on the pan. Remove from heat. Eat shrimp with your fingers and dip some crusty bread into the resulting sauce. Dinner is served.
