Shrimp and Pasta with Basil Walnut Pesto

Angel hair pasta sautéed with shrimp, corn and tomatoes pair nicely with the basil walnut pesto in this Italian inspired dish! Instead of shrimp, try sliced raw chicken breast. Make the dish vegetarian by adding some sliced mushrooms instead of shrimp. Garnish with fresh basil.
