Remove shrimp from the skillet.
  • Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same, now empty, skillet. Add sliced mushrooms. Season mushrooms with ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms release liquid and reduce in volume and get soft, for about a minute or two. Add back the cooked shrimp. Add ½ cup basil pesto and ½ cup chicken broth.
