This shrimp and pesto pasta was created to satisfy my one-pot wonder love. The pesto is homemade and dairy free, plus it's made with almond butter instead of pricey pine nuts. The shrimp are the perfect level of spicy, and the pasta is the perfect balance of bright and creamy. It's a light, healthy pasta, but you wouldn't know it.
