Preparation Steps

Sauté the Shrimp

Add Cajun Pesto

Stir in the Cajun pesto and lemon juice. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the shrimp to absorb the flavors.

Prepare Texas Toast

While the shrimp is cooking, toast the Texas toast in a separate skillet or toaster according to package instructions.

Serve
