Zubereitung von Cilantro Pesto Grilled Shrimp

**Prepare the Cilantro Pesto:** Combine 1 cup packed cilantro leaves, 1/4 cup pine nuts, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
**Make the Pesto:** With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil until smooth. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate (makes about 3/4 cup).
