This pistachio pesto pasta with shrimp begins with a basil-pistachio pesto—you are likely familiar with pesto made with pine nuts, but pesto is very flexible, and you can use almost any nut.
2 tablespoons raw pistachios, without shells
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
freshly-squeezed lemon juice to taste
14 1/2 ounces fusilli pasta
1 pound peeled and deveined raw shrimp
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
