Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 2

    Add the sweet shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with wine

    Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow the wine to cook off for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add pesto

    Stir in the pesto sauce, ensuring the shrimp are well-coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5
