Directions
Cilantro Pesto Grilled Shrimp, Shrimp gets the Tex-Mex treatment Taken from Sheila Lukins USA Cookbook These are very addicting, and the cilantro adds an unexpected dash of heat! Prep time includes marinating time , I made a large batch of this pesto and froze it in small cups, similar to Ma Hiker below I have used it several times with shrimp and each time it’s been a hit Thank you for this!, I am harvesting the herb bed and after pureeing a large bowl of cilantro leaves with some olive oil for freezing , I knew I needed to make a pesto because it was delish plain and I had the foresight to know it would be fab with just the little bit extras Diff from a basil pesto since there is no parm cheese and I am looking forward to having it on top of some grilled fish tonight I am in cilantro heaven right now The leftover pesto has been put into an ice cube tray for future use (I already had put up a bowl of cilantro leaves tossed in olive oil into freezer bags for future use as per a garden blog I found online – hope it works!! If not then I will make pesto cubes to freeze just like I do with my basil
