“Easy & quick to make. Good flavor with the pesto mix and maybe next time, I''ll add chopped onion and bell pepper to give this dish a little more umph. Great dish and added to my healthy eating plan. Oh, great source of protein if you are trying to build m” — a cook, 5★
“My husband and I really liked this recipe. I added sliced shallots when I cooked the zucchini and added sliced garlic, just before adding the shrimp. Even so, the dish ended up being a little too bland. I might add some crushed red pepper flakes the next time.” — a cook, 4★
