CILANTRO LIME SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• STOVETOP INSTRUCTIONS: Set a large pot of water on high heat and bring to a boil. Add a few pinches of salt. Then cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Usually 6-9 minutes for al dente pasta. Drain the pasta in a colander.
• Meanwhile, set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter, garlic, and shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the shrimp are pink. They should look like C's, not O's. O stands for overcooked.
• Add the lime juice and half the cilantro. Stir well. Then toss in the cooked pasta, cream, and remaining cilantro. Stir for 1-2 minutes to coat the pasta and allow the sauce to thicken. Serve warm.
• INSTANT POT INSTRUCTIONS: Place the pasta in the Instant Pot. Add the butter, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups water. Cover and lock the lid into place.
• Set the Instant Pot on "Pressure Cook High" for 4 minutes. Once it is finished cooking, turn the Instant Pot "Off", then press the button to "Quick Release" the steam, until the valve button drops.
• Unlock the lid and stir in the lime juice, raw shrimp, cilantro, and cream. Set the Instant Pot on "Sauté" and cook for 3-4 minutes, toss and simmer until the shrimp are pink. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.

CILANTRO LIME PASTA WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large pot, boil up your pasta according to al dente package directions (for example if it says boil for 10-12 minutes, boil pasta on the lower end of the range for 10 minutes). Reserve 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water.
• While pasta is boiling, cook up your shrimp. Season raw shrimp with 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. In a medium or large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook shrimp 1-2 minutes on each side or until cooked through (with vary based on the size of your shrimp). Transfer to a plate, cover and set aside.
• Make the pesto: In a food processor or blender, add cilantro, basil, lime juice, garlic, salt and Parmesan cheese. Blend for about 10 seconds. Then add in olive oil. Blend 10 seconds more until everything is incorporated. Taste and season with a bit more salt, if necessary.
• Drain pasta (don't forget to reserve a little pasta water!) and return pasta back to the hot pot, set over LOW heat.
• Add shrimp (and all juices from the shrimp that are on the plate) and cilantro pesto to the pasta and carefully toss with tongs until all pasta is covered with the pesto. If you feel it's too thick add about a tablespoon of coconut milk or reserved pasta water. **only add if you think the pasta needs it!
• Plate up your pasta and top with crushed peanuts, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, fresh black pepper and more lime juice and chopped cilantro, if you like!!
