Here is how you make Pesto Parmesan Pasta and Shrimp:

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!)Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KRYSTLELEE.
