  3. Stir Parmesan cheese into cream sauce, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Blend in the pesto, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until thickened.

  4. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until they turn pink, about 5 minutes. Serve over the hot linguine.

Recipe Note

One of our family's favorites, it's also great when made with crab meat instead of the shrimp.
