TRADER JOE'S MEALS EPISODE #9: SUMMER SHRIMP PASTA✨

Defrost your shrimp under cold water for 3 minutes until no longer frozen. Heat up a pan over medium heat, add 1-2 tbs olive oil and cook shrimp on each side for about 2 minutes or until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Once shrimp are fully cooked, add lemon juice + zest and toss shrimp to coat. Remove shrimp from the pan and add minced garlic. Let cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Then add baby zucchini rounds and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile cook pasta according package directions, reserving 1/2 pasta water for the sauce. Once zucchini is cooked add bruschetta sauce, pesto, pasta, cheese and basil to the pan. Mix well. Add shrimp back into the pan and toss gently. Top with extra bruschetta sauce, cheese and basil. Enjoy!
