Grilled Cilantro and Pistachio Pesto Shrimp Skewers

by Irene Lindvall


With Mother's Day dinner part 1 happening this evening I opted for a quick barbecue lunch. I liked the idea of cilantro + pistachios as a sauce and it actually barbecued quite nicely. However, overall, the taco was missing something. I almost think these shrimp could be served on their own as an appetizer or with some small crusty bread instead of as a taco.

Things I learned from this recipe:

I should've used the slaw from my taco recipe a last week. Eric had me whip together some chipotle mayo (sour cream + adobe chili peppers) for some kind of a sauce. I think salsa would've also been sufficient. 

Would I make this recipe again?:

Maybe
