Recipe Instructions:

1. Cook Penne Pasta:

   • Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss immediately with 3 tablespoons of pesto sauce. Transfer the pasta to a large platter and cover to keep warm.

2. Prepare Shrimp and Vegetables:

   • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and red onion. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

3. Cook Shrimp:

   • Add the sliced zucchini and large shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt to taste. Cook for an additional 8 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, stirring frequently.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Top the warm penne pasta with the cooked shrimp and vegetable mixture. Drizzle the remaining pesto sauce over the top. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and evenly coat with pesto.
