Instructions
Basil Pesto Instructions:Using a food processor or blender, blend the garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and basil until smooth. After the mixture is smooth, slowly pour in the olive oil until thoroughly combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Shrimp Caprese Preparation Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Pat shrimp dry and using a paring knife, cut the shrimp almost all the way through along where the shell has already been sliced open. Press the shrimp down slightly to make seasoning easier. Place shrimp on a lined baking sheet cut side up and season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Top shrimp with mozzarella cheese and bake for 5—8 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
Place cooked shrimp onto a serving platter and top shrimp with basil pesto, tomatoes, and fresh basil. Serve and enjoy!
