Pesto Packets

I discovered Pesto Packets and Alfredo Packets and love them!  They are delicious & save time, with the right recipe!

Lemon & Pesto Shrimp over Pasta

Spaghetti or angel hair pasta
1 T. Olive Oil
Shrimp (12 pieces per person)
1 lemon
2 cloves of garlic
1 T. of butter
Fresh Parmesan Cheese
Artichoke hearts or broccoli
Pesto Packet (Korr)
1 c. milk
1/4. Olive Oil

Cook pasta.

Thaw frozen shrimp  by running warm water over it in a strainer.  Put Shrimp in the skillet & put 1 T. olive oil.  Squeeze the entire lemon, 2 cloves of chopped garlic, & 1 T. of butter.  Cook all of this together and so the shrimp soaks up some of the juices (5 minutes on medium heat)  and then remove the juice and let the shrimp brown.  Once they are slightly browned then put over strained pasta & drizzle the pesto over it.  Sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese.  Add artichoke hearts or broccoli (optional).

Pesto Sauce:
Pesto Packet (Korr) - Creamy Pesto
1 c. milk
1/4 c. Olive Oil
Cook in a pan until it boils and then lower the heat and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. and thickens and then take it off of the heat.
