Shrimp & Mushrooms in Pesto (Printable Version)

Cooked shrimp and mushrooms tossed in a garlicky pesto for a quick, tasty bite.

# Ingredients:

→ Seasoned Shrimp

01 - 1 pound shrimp, deveined and peeled
02 - 1 tablespoon of olive oil
03 - ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
04 - ¼ teaspoon sea salt

→ Veggies and Sauce

05 - ½ cup chicken stock
06 - 3 minced garlic cloves
07 - 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
09 - ½ cup of basil pesto
10 - 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped basil

# Steps:

01 - Warm a large pan on medium-high heat, then add the olive oil. Let it spread evenly. Toss in the shrimp, sprinkle on salt and red chili flakes, and cook for about 3 minutes. Flip halfway through so the shrimp turn pink and cooked all the way. Move the shrimp out of the pan.
02 - Using the same pan, pour in another tablespoon of olive oil. Add garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the mushrooms. Stir, letting them release their moisture and get soft. This takes around 1-2 minutes.
03 - Add the shrimp back into the pan. Stir in the pesto sauce and chicken stock, then let it all cook on medium heat until everything blends well. Turn off the heat after mixing.
04 - When you're ready to plate up, sprinkle the dish with some freshly chopped basil.
