2 Prepare the Ingredients
Mince garlic. Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces, if necessary. Pat shrimp dry, and season with a pinch of pepper.

3 Sear the Shrimp
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shrimp to hot pan and cook undisturbed until seared on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip, and cook until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

-
5 Finish the Dish
Add cream, pesto, half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), and half the pasta cooking water to pan. Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally until sauce is thickened, 2-3 minutes. If needed, add remaining pasta water 1 Tbsp. a time until desired consistency is reached. Stir in pasta, shrimp, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Remove from burner. Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
