Yummy Easy Shrimp Pesto


This recipe was so easy and so healthy! (And so yummy!)

The pesto can be frozen for later use...because the recipe makes plenty!

Cara's Pesto

Ingredients:
4 cups loosely packed basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
3/4 cup olive oil
1 cup walnuts (or pine nuts)
4 T lemon juice
2 t salt
5 oz grated parmigiana cheese

Mix together in food processor until smooth.

To serve my dish I cooked whole wheat pasta and added pesto to it until it was coated.  Then I topped it with peas, mushrooms, and shrimp I had sauteed in olive oil and red pepper flakes.  Yum!

And knowing that my basil was grown locally in a hydroponics system makes it more exciting! (Dible Diversified Agriculture)
