Cilantro Lime Shrimp

Ingredients:

24` Jumbo Shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
1 1⁄2 Bunches Fresh Cilantro
2 Limes, juiced
6 Cloves Garlic
6 tbsp Olive Oil Salt & Pepper – to taste
2-3 tbsp Sliced Almonds
1/2 tbcp Red Pepper Flakes

3. Soak Wooden Skewers in water for 20 minutes to avoid burning on the grill.
4. For the shrimp, coat in pesto and skewer onto wooden skewers, cook on grill at high heat just a few minutes per side. You can also cook them in a sauté pan or on a grill pan (no skewers needed).
5. Save some pesto to mix into cooked rice. Top shrimp on rice, salad or eat as an appetizer.
