Shrimp pesto pasta
To make it a bit easier for yourself, and to be able to get to the table quickly, I have chosen pasta from the fresh aisle of the supermarket in this recipe. You usually only have to heat these up in boiling water for a few minutes and you're done. As I wrote in the intro, I actually always make my own pesto. If you make it and you have some left over, you can keep it in the fridge for a few days.
You can use it for example at the weekend with a nice toast, or in another nice recipe.
When buying your fish, prawns make sure that it has an MSC quality mark. These fish come from sustainable fishing. This involves managing the fish stock and ensuring that as little damage as possible is caused to the sea.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
