SHRIMP WITH LINGUINE IN A PESTO CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Set a large 1-gallon stock pot of water to a boil and add the kosher salt. Place the linguine in the pot and stir the pot until the water returns to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender, but with a bit of resistance (al dente), about 12 minutes.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan. Once the butter has melted, season the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the Essence and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and add the shrimp to the pan. Sear the shrimp until pink, about 1 minute, then turn over and cook for another minute. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Add the onions and saute until softened and lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, pesto, remaining tablespoon of Essence, remaining teaspoon of the salt to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce until the cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Return the shrimp, linguine and the reserved cooking water to the pan and cook, tossing to incorporate for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and add the parsley and parmesan cheese and toss to blend. Serve immediately.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND SHRIMP ALFREDO
You'll love my twist on this creamy Alfredo. It's a little heavy on the hips, but worth every bite. A perfect match with a nice green salad, and you must have garlic bread to sop up this creamy sauce.

CREAMY PESTO SHRIMP
Bursting with flavor, this creamy and saucy shrimp dish is excellent on its own but tastes wonderful over your favorite pasta, rice, or even cooked zucchini noodles. Garlic, lemon, and tomatoes add bright flavor, while half-and-half keeps it extra creamy. I recommend using homemade pesto!

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and 1/3 cup (80ml) half-and-half. Stir to combine, then bring the half-and-half to a simmer. Once simmering, add the shrimp. Cook for 1 minute, then add the halved cherry tomatoes. Stir and cook until shrimp is nearly cooked through, just about pink on both sides. Stir in the remaining half-and-half, the lemon juice, and parmesan cheese. Cook for 1 minute. (Shrimp should be fully cooked by this point. If not, keep cooking until it's pink.)
- Remove from heat, then immediately stir in the pesto while everything is still hot. Serve plain, over cooked pasta, rice, or even zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with fresh basil and extra parmesan cheese, if desired.
- Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

HEALTHY CREAMY CHICKEN PESTO W/PASTA FOR ONE
The Beau and I have different work schedules, so I'm frequently cooking for one during the week. This is super fast, effortless, and healthy. It's easily doubled for a night when I'm cooking for the both of us. I always have the ingredients on hand and the creamy texture makes me think I'm getting away with an indulgence. The chicken can be omitted for a vegetarian meal.

PESTO CHICKEN OR SHRIMP PIZZA
Came up with this one for pizza night...A hit with everyone in my family. Great with chicken or shrimp...whatever you have leftover. I think the balance of the savory pesto with the sweetness of tomato and caramelized onions turned out really nice. If you use a sweet onion such as Vidalia, you can omit the sugar. I used recipe #144195 with great results. Hope you enjoy!

- Pesto; Put the basil, pine nuts, and salt in a food processor or blender and process steadily while you add the oil in a thin but constant stream.
- The sauce should achieve the consistency of a slightly grainy paste but not a fine puree.
- Add the garlic and process very briefly, just to mix.
- When the sauce is the right consistency, transfer it to a bowl and, using a spatula, fold in the grated cheese.
- (If you're using a mortar, just continue to work in the cheese with the pestle.) If the sauce is too thick, work in more olive oil.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning.
