These Pesto Grilled Shrimp Kabobs are a perfect summer grilling option. The pesto marinade adds a burst of flavor to the succulent shrimp, making them a crowd-pleaser at any barbecue or gathering.
Ingredients: 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined. 1/4 cup pesto sauce. 1 lemon, juiced and zested. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Wooden skewers, soaked in water.
Instructions: In a bowl, combine the pesto sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and olive oil. Mix well to make the marinade. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add them to the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, making sure to leave space between each shrimp for even cooking. Place the shrimp kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough if cooked too long. Serve the Pesto Grilled Shrimp Kabobs hot, garnished with extra pesto sauce and lemon wedges. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful shrimp kabobs!
