Heat the olive oil over medium heat until sizzling. Add the garlic and the shrimp. Cook your shrimp until it is pink and firm, about five minutes.
Add the pesto and stir the shrimp until well coated. Sprinkle the green onions on top and stir. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Just before removing the shrimp from the heat, add the cheese to the top of the shrimp.
Microwave your Barilla Ready Pasta, and place the pasta on a plate. Top the pasta with a drizzle of olive oil and the shrimp scampi.
