Shrimp (Prawns) with Pesto Pasta

Total time: 25 minutes
   Served warm to bring out the flavors, the pesto works amazingly well with the shrimp, and the, more traditional, pasta.  If you have to clean the shrimp add 10 - 15 minutes.  You can use raw or cooked shrimp for this as the flavor is in the sauce rather than a marinade.

 Ingredients:

• 12oz (360gr) large shrimp (prawns), cleaned
• 2 tbs pesto
• 1 tbs lemon juice
• 2 tbs olive oil
• Olive oil for coating pan
• spaghetti, 3.5oz (100gr)  a circle about 1" (2.5cm) in diameter
• 1/3 cup pesto
• 1 tbs good olive oil or truffle oil

 Instructions:

• Cook pasta according to package directions.  When done, drain. 
• Clean shrimp if needed, if not just rinse and let drain. 
• Mix 2 tbs pesto, lemon and oil.  Add shrimp and toss to coat. 
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add shrimp and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until raw shrimp curl and turn opaque or cooked shrimp are heated through. 
• To finish: 
• Mix  1/3 cup pesto and oil.
• Add to pasta and toss well to coat. 
• Arrange nicely on a platter or large plate. 
• Lay the shrimp on top of the pasta and spoon any remaining sauce from the pan over the top. 
• Serve.
