1️⃣ Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil—it should run without sizzling. 🫒

2️⃣ Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with ¼ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3 minutes, turning once midway, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. 🍤🔥 Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

3️⃣ In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. 🫒 Add the sliced mushrooms and season with ¼ teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid, reduce in volume, and become soft, about 1-2 minutes. 🍄

4️⃣ Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Pour in ½ cup of basil pesto and ½ cup of chicken broth. Stir everything together over medium heat until well combined. Remove from heat. 🌿🍗

5️⃣ Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and add it to the shrimp and mushroom mixture. Toss to combine. 🍝

6️⃣ Top with chopped fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your Pesto Shrimp Mushroom Pasta! 🌿🍤🍝
