Steps:
- Prepare the pasta as directed on package, and don't forget to salt the water. No oil. Just salt. Remember to reserve some of the pasta water-about a 1/2 cup.
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute shrimp for about 2-3 minutes, until done. Remove shrimp; set aside.
- Add pesto and 1 tablespoon or so of the pasta water. Whisk the pesto and pasta water together over low-medium heat until blended smooth. If needed add a bit more water until desired consistency is reached. Remove from heat.
- Add pasta and shrimp to pesto sauce, and gently, being careful not to squish the pasta, toss the pasta with the pesto sauce and sauteed shrimp (or chicken).

Steps:
- Pesto: Grate 1 teaspoon zest from the lime and juice the entire lime for about 2 tablespoons of juice. Combine the zest and juice with the cilantro, green onions, chopped pecans, chopped garlic, sugar, vegetable oil, and extra-virgin olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the mixture until well-combined, but still slightly chunky. Season the pesto with salt, and pepper, to taste.
- Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the pesto. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the shrimp until just opaque and pink, about 3 minutes. Put a generous spoonful of pesto into a serving bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Serve the remaining pesto on the side or freeze for another use.
