1. Spoon enough oil from top of pesto to fill a tablespoon and heat in a large skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute.
2. Add shrimp; cook 2 minutes turning frequently. Stir in lemon juice; transfer to bowl. Toss with salt. When cool enough to handle, slice shrimp in half lengthwise.
3. Toss cooked pasta with remaining pesto and shrimp. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
A terrific pasta dish that can be cooked up in a flash. You'll save even more time if you purchase shrimp that has already been peeled and deveined.
