15 Minute Pesto Shrimp

Prawn

This versatile and quick pesto shrimp can be served alongside a hunk of crusty bread, over pasta or rice, or even used as a topping for pizza.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 ½ pounds large peeled, deveined raw shrimp
1 teaspoon no-salt-added Italian seasoning
1 pint grape tomatoes
2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
½ cup refrigerated basil pesto

Description

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and Italian seasoning; cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are just cooked through and turn opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Wipe the pan clean.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan; heat over medium heat. Add tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally and pressing the tomatoes down lightly with tongs or a wooden spoon, until the tomatoes begin to break down and juices are released, about 5 minutes. Add basil and return the shrimp to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the basil is wilted and the shrimp are warm, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in pesto.
