Method

Shrimp Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the large shrimp, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Pesto Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make Pesto Sauce

    In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto reaches a smooth consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Grilling Shrimp

  1. 3

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and drizzle with pesto sauce.
