About Pasta with shrimp and pesto

Pasta with Shrimp and Pesto is a flavorful dish inspired by Italian cuisine, combining tender shrimp with a vibrant basil pesto sauce. Made with al dente pasta, fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and succulent shrimp, it delivers a balance of savory and herbaceous flavors. Shrimp is a lean source of protein, rich in essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12, while pesto contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from olive oil and pine nuts. However, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the oil and Parmesan, so portion control is important. Opting for whole-grain pasta or zucchini noodles can boost fiber content and make it more nutrient-dense. This dish is a satisfying option for seafood lovers seeking a protein-packed, Mediterranean-inspired meal.
