Pesto Roasted Shrimp


Just like chicken we are always looking for new ways to try it. The
same goes for shrimp. The freshness of basil pesto pairs perfectly with
shrimp.I always stick to the rule that you should never cook pesto.
However using it as a marinade and as a dipping sauce, you get the best
of both!

1 pound shrimp
3/4 cup prepared pesto divided
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Sea salt
Red pepper flakes

Combine 1/2 cup pesto, 1/4 cup lemon juice & shrimp. Marinate 20 - 30
minutes at room temperature.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Skewer the shrimp on soaked
bamboo skewers and place on the parchment. Season both sides with sea
salt & pepper flakes to taste.

Bake in a 425 degree oven 8 - 10 minutes.

Serve with remaining pesto and fresh lemon juice.
