Honey-I-Love-You Lemongrass Shrimp Pasta image

A co-worker brought this dish to share at lunch one day. The vibrancy of the lemongrass pesto, succulence of the tender curled shrimp, and the al dente fresh pasta made this a lunch to remember. This dish is just beautiful to share with someone you love, thus I've called it Honey-I-Love-You...Pasta. Serve with a crusty French bread and garlic butter or olive oil. I've found lemongrass pesto recipes online, but haven't made any. I usually buy from a local specialty store or online. Warms up well in the microwave. Haven't tried freezing.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some added herbs or spices.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce and it was a hit with my family.

The shrimp in this dish was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll be sure to cook the shrimp for less time next time.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less red pepper flakes.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of lemongrass, but I'm glad I did. The lemongrass flavor is subtle and really complements the shrimp.
