1
Cook the spaghetti according to the al dente directions on the package

In a large skillet - heat the olive oil to medium and saute the shallot for a few minutes until it just starts to brown. Throw a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper in while you are doing this.
3
Add the tomatoes and saute 2-3 more minutes until they are just soft.
4
Add the shrimp and saute until they are pink on both sides but not yet cooked through.

Add the olives and capers, then the spaghetti. Toss all of it with the pesto and a splash of wine, the shrimp will finish cooking during this process.
