Steps:
- Prepare the pasta as directed on package, and don't forget to salt the water. No oil. Just salt. Remember to reserve some of the pasta water-about a 1/2 cup.
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute shrimp for about 2-3 minutes, until done. Remove shrimp; set aside.
- Add pesto and 1 tablespoon or so of the pasta water. Whisk the pesto and pasta water together over low-medium heat until blended smooth. If needed add a bit more water until desired consistency is reached. Remove from heat.
- Add pasta and shrimp to pesto sauce, and gently, being careful not to squish the pasta, toss the pasta with the pesto sauce and sauteed shrimp (or chicken).

Steps:
- Pesto: Grate 1 teaspoon zest from the lime and juice the entire lime for about 2 tablespoons of juice. Combine the zest and juice with the cilantro, green onions, chopped pecans, chopped garlic, sugar, vegetable oil, and extra-virgin olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the mixture until well-combined, but still slightly chunky. Season the pesto with salt, and pepper, to taste.
- Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the pesto. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the shrimp until just opaque and pink, about 3 minutes. Put a generous spoonful of pesto into a serving bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Serve the remaining pesto on the side or freeze for another use.

- Cook pasta according to instructions on the package. Be aware that Vermicelli is very thin and it cooks very quickly. In my case it took just 6 minutes once I put it into the boiling water.
- In a food processor combine cilantro, garlic, cashews, cotija cheese, and olive oil. Mix until well blended. Taste for salt (depending on the cheese and cashews you are using it may need it or not). Mix again. Set apart.
- Heat oil in a pan, add garlic and cook until golden. Add shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side. Be sure to not overcooked them or they will become rubbery. You will see them change color from a grayish to a white pinkish.
