Hazırlanışı

1. Place the parsley, basil, garlic, lemon juice, pine nuts, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse until well blended. Slowly pour in the olive oil while pulsing until you have a fairly smooth consistency. Heat a large pot of lightly salted water to boil, then cook the pasta until it is "al dente". While the pasta is cooking, heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan, season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then cook the shrimp over medium heat until cooked through and pink, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of pasta water, the return the pasta to the pot with the shrimp. Place the pasta pot on the stove over medium high heat, and add a scoop of the pesto sauce, tossing the pasta until it is well coated. If the sauce seems dry, loosen it with a little of the pasta water. Continue to toss the pasta with the shrimp and sauce for another minute or two until it is piping hot, then serve in individual bowls.
