Golden Sage Pesto Shrimp with Angel Hair

Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 12 oz gluten-free angel hair pasta
• 2 tbsp Salted Perfection South Beach Select Blend
• 3/4 cup basil pesto (ensure gluten-free certified)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the gluten-free angel hair pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve about half a cup of that starchy pasta water before you drain it.
2. While the water heats up, toss the shrimp in a bowl with the olive oil and the Salted Perfection South Beach Select Blend. Coat them evenly so that turmeric and sage flavor gets everywhere.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Sear them for about 2 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and have a nice golden char. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same skillet (don't wipe it out, that's flavor), toss in the cherry tomatoes for just a minute to blister them slightly. Lower the heat.
5. Add the drained pasta and the pesto to the skillet. Toss vigorously, adding splashes of the reserved pasta water until the sauce is silky and clings to the noodles.
6. Top with the seared shrimp and a dusting of Parmesan if you are using it. Serve immediately. DUNZO!
