This bold shrimp and pasta dish blends two delicious complementary and intense sauces, Garlic and Olive Oil, and Pesto. Fortunately, many store-bought pesto sauces sold in jars are quite good making, this seemingly complex dish quite easy to prepare.
Pete’s Garlic and Olive Oil produces mild flavored garlic, with flavor infused oil. Pesto adds complexity. Combined, they form an incredible standalone sauce. Adding shrimp takes it to an even higher level.
In Italy, pasta is considered first course. Except on traditional Sundays and special occasions, we often ate pasta as our main meal. I intentionally make this dish with a higher proportion of shrimp and sauce to pasta. You can increase the amount of pasta to accommodate a larger crowd.
