Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

Slowly stir in milk and cream; simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. 

Stir in pesto, parsley, garlic, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer.

Meanwhile, place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. 

Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. 

Saute shrimp, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt for 5 minutes, or until shrimp are pink. 

In a large bowl, toss pasta, shrimp and broccoli; pour sauce over and serve.
