May 10: National Shrimp Day

There was a time in my childhood when I despised shrimp.

I don't know what was wrong with me back then.

There's so many possibilities of recipes you can make with shrimp. My favorite is shrimp pasta. And then there's the different types of sauces you can cook the shrimp in. 

I decided to honor National Shrimp Day by making pesto shrimp pasta.

My dad makes his own pesto because he's cool like that. We keep it frozen and then just scrape out what we need. I put a little pesto in a pan, added the defrosted shrimp, cooked it up, added it to some pasta, and called it good!
