1 Medium Pot
1 Colander
1 Medium Non-Stick Pan

Before You Cook

Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a medium pot
Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry
Ingredient(s) used more than once: cheese

1

Cook the Pasta

Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander. Set aside. While pasta cooks, prepare ingredients.
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.
4

Cook the Vegetables

Return pan used to cook shrimp to medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add garlic, broccoli, peas, and ¼ tsp. salt to hot pan and stir occasionally until broccoli is tender, 3-5 minutes.
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!
