Como fazer Cilantro Pesto Grilled Shrimp

  1. **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.
  2. **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).
  3. **Marinate the Shrimp:** In a bowl, toss 1 pound shrimp with 6 tablespoons of the cilantro pesto. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
  4. **Prepare the Skewers:** Thread the marinated shrimp onto long metal skewers, about 5-6 shrimp per skewer.
  5. **Grill the Shrimp:** Preheat grill to high heat. Grill skewers for 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through (about 3 inches from the heat source).
  6. **Finish and Serve:** Remove shrimp from skewers. Toss with the remaining 6 tablespoons of pesto and serve immediately. Enjoy!
