Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound shrimp large, peeled, deveined
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces white mushrooms sliced

Heat large skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Add olive oil - it should run without sizzling.

Remove shrimp from the skillet.

Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same, now empty, skillet. Add sliced mushrooms. Season mushrooms with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms release liquid and reduce in volume and get soft, for about a minute or two.. Add back the cooked shrimp. Add 1/2 cup basil pesto and 1/2 cup chicken broth. On medium heat, mix everything to combine. Remove from heat.

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain. Add to the shrimp with sauce. Top with chopped fresh basil.

What, no garlic, blasphemy lol. Just kidding looks good. Love pesto.
I sometimes add a bit. I take it you LOVE garlic considering your username? I went to school with a guy that loved garlic to the point he would just eat it like a snack. I like it too but not that much! ;-)
