Pesto Shrimp Linguini

We had some leftover homemade pesto and found good use for it in this carb and protein loaded dish.

Pesto Shrimp Linguini

(modification of recipe originally from Men’s Fitness)

Serves 4

  • ¼ cup prepared pesto sauce
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 pound (41-50 count) medium shrimp, grilled or steamed
  • ½ pound whole wheat linguini pasta, cooked
  • 4 cups kale leaves, stems removed and shredded
  • 1 cup sundried tomatoes (without oil), cut into slivers
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced (if your pesto already has a lot of garlic, feel free to cut back here)

Mix pesto with vinegar.

Place the shrimp, pasta, kale, tomatoes, red pepper flakes and garlic in a large bowl and mix. Spoon the pesto-vinegar sauce on top and toss to coat.
