Ridiculously Good Shrimp Pesto Soba Noodles Recipe
"These pesto tossed soba noodles come together fast. The noodles and shrimp only take about 5 minutes to cook. The pesto can be made in advance or you can swap the recipe below for a store-bought version. If you do make your own pesto, you will be done in under 15 minutes. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to this — zucchini, bell pepper or edamame are all excellent. Shrimp is delicious in this, but you can easily swap them for chicken, tofu or more vegetables...."
