Begin by making the pesto: simply combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.

Reserve two tablespoons of the fresh pesto (you’ll use that on the grilled shrimp) and pour the rest over the shrimp.

Toss to coat and let the shrimp sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to marinate.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the shrimp a few minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook them!

Right before serving, add the reserved pesto to the grilled shrimp. I know it only looks like a little, but pesto is very strong and garlicky so you don’t want to overdo it.
