HIGH PROTEIN

15 Minute Pesto Shrimp

SERVINGS: 4

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

DIRECTIONS
+ 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.

PRO TIP: Eat alone or pour over 1/2 cup of Basmati Rice or Handmade Pasta if you prefer.
