  • Return pasta and broccoli to Dutch oven; reduce heat to low. Stir in pesto, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and salt. Add shrimp, and cook, stirring constantly, just until heated through, about 2 minutes, adding cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed for creaminess. Top with Parmesan; serve immediately.
