Lemon Shrimp With Roasted Peppers Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound peeled large shrimp

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

6 ounces multigrain spaghetti

1 roasted pepper, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

1/4 cup pesto sauce

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Preparation

Combine the shrimp, lemon juice, and oil in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to grill, but no more than 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Remove the shrimp from the marinade (discard the marinade) and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper.

Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers or coat a grill basket with cooking spray. Grill the shrimp 2 1/2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the grilled shrimp, roasted pepper, pesto, lemon zest, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
