Sun Dried Tomato Pesto with Shrimp Scampi

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto with Shrimp Scampi

When picking up some basil pesto at Food Lion, I noticed there was a sun dried tomato version. I picked it up where it spent a month in my pantry.

And then magic happened.

Boil up some water and cook your pasta. I have a box of Italian angel hair pasta, 100% semolina flour pressed through brass dies. Meanwhile fine shave some romano pecorino. About a cup’s worth. In butter with some fresh diced garlic, quickly scampi some jumbo shrimp. I season mine with Kevin’s Creole Seasoning.

Drain the pasta well, add a couple slices of Kerrygold butter, mix in a few fine minced cloves of fresh garlic. Stir in a couple tablespoon of the sun dried tomato pesto. Stir well. Add in a few forkfuls of chopped sun dried tomatoes as well as a handful of fresh basil and parsley. Fortunately my hydroponics garden is going full steam and I had no shortage of these herbs. Grind in some fresh black pepper. Mix in half your parm.

Serve on a plate, top with the rest of the parm and then place the strimp on top.

The result is a favor-packed meal that is easy to make.
