Ingredients

1 1/2 cups
long grain white rice
3 cups
water
1 tbsp
olive oil
1

garlic clove, minced
1 lb
peeled shrimp
1/2 cup

Directions

Cook the rice according to package directions.

In the meantime, in a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until they’re fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, flipping once, until it’s bright pink and opaque, about 5 minutes. Add the pesto sauce and cream and cook for another 3 minutes. Stir in the basil.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
