Pesto Obsessed? Make Red Pepper Pesto Pasta with Shrimp

Pasta will forever be my quick-night, go-to meal. It is so simple and satisfying and this combination is a winner.

Roasted red peppers are a pantry staple for me. I love buying a few jars and pulling one out when I dont have a ton of time and I want to add deep flavor to something like this red pepper pesto. The char bits on the roasted red peppers remind me a bit of summer; even when were deep into winter without a glimmer of hope.

The walnuts add a nice nuttiness to the pesto and I paired it with shrimp because its another favorite of mine because they take literally five minutes to cook up. Ive also been on this odd quinoa/brown rice pasta kick and I will admit, its nothing like the original but its does the trick when I want to feel less guilty about my carb-obsession.

Give it a go and tell me how you like it!
