Baked succulent shrimp coated with fresh basil pesto on wooden skewers. Delicious and amazingly creamy, these pesto shrimp skewers are great as easy to make appetizers.
Ingredients
24 large shrimp, deshelled and deveined
2 tablespoons pesto
1 ½ tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the pan) or nonstick cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat the oven at 350F. Lightly grease the baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil.
Brush pesto on all sides of the shrimp.
Place the shrimp on the baking pan, and bake for about 10 minutes until the shrimp has turned a reddish orange color and is no longer gray.
Remove the shrimp from the oven, and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Insert about 4 shrimps per skewer for a total of 6 skewers.
Serve the shrimp warm.
