Aromatic Parsley Pesto Marinated Shrimp Food

EASY PESTO SHRIMP

Steps:

• If necessary, thaw the shrimp.
• Pat the shrimp dry.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Add the shrimp and salt. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side until almost opaque, turning them with tongs.
• Just before shrimp are fully cooked, add the 1/4 cup pesto and continue cooking for 30 seconds, stirring continuously.
• Serve immediately. If using storebought pesto, adjust lemon and or salt accordingly.

ROASTED SHRIMP TOSSED WITH PARSLEY PESTO

Steps:

• 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, roasted using your favorite method, and allowed to cool to room temperature
• Combine all the ingredients except for the oil and shrimp in a food processor. Pulse about 1 minute, slowly pouring the oil into the processor, to make a smooth pesto.
• Serve pesto with the shrimp on the side as a dipping sauce or toss the shrimp with the pesto.

GRILLED PESTO SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thread the shrimp onto skewers, if desired. (I usually don't bother, unless the shrimp are on the smaller side, in which case they might slip through the grill grates.)
• In a food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, basil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, Parmigiano-Reggiano and walnuts. Process until the mixture is well blended. Reserve two tablespoons of the pesto in a bowl large enough to hold all of the shrimp and set aside. Pour the remaining pesto over the shrimp and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to marinate.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook until plump and slightly charred, a few minutes per side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to the bowl with the reserved pesto and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
