Step 1

In a food processor pulse basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper until smooth.

Step 2

Slowly add the olive oil while pulsing.

Step 3

Combine raw shrimp with pesto and marinate a few hours in a bowl.

Step 4

Soak wooden skewers in water at least 20 minutes (or use metal ones to avoid this step). Thread shrimp onto 7 skewers.

Step 5

Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-low heat until hot. Be sure the grates are clean and spray lightly with oil.

Step 6

Place the shrimp on the hot grill and cook until shrimp turns pink on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes; turn and continue cooking until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
