Skewered Rosemary Shrimp With Mint Pesto

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This review is for the pesto only. I served it on pasta and it was very tasty. The pesto was too thick so I added juice from the jalopeno jar to thin it down. For a less expensive alternative, used sunflower seeds instead of the pine nuts. Thanks for posting this recipe, it's a keeper.
