LINGUINE WITH KALE/BROCCOLI PESTO TOPPED WITH HONEY/LEMON SHRIMP

I went a little over the top with nature’s wholesome greens. it  was sort of leap out of the  ‘box’; in that I created a pesto from atypical ingredients.

For the fall, this dish has become one of my absolute favorites. I’ve traveled this fork of the road before and I liked same.
