SERVES:
2-4

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound large raw, peeled and deveined shrimp
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 tsp dried oregano
pinch red pepper flakes
2-3 Tbs olive oil

for the pesto:
4 loosely packed cups spinach
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup walnut halves (or 1/3 cup chopped walnuts)
juice of 1/2 lemon
olive oil as needed (approx. 1/3 cup)

PROCEDURE:

Toss the shrimp with 2 large minced cloves of garlic, 2 tsp dried oregano, a pinch of red pepper flakes and a few Tbs of olive oil....place that bowl right into the fridge and let the shrimp marinate for about 1/2 hour.

To make the pesto, add about 4 cups loose packed spinach to a food processor and add 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup walnuts, 1 small clove garlic, the juice of 1/2 large lemon....put the lid on top, turn the machine on and then drizzle olive oil into it as you need to......to make a smooth pesto like consistency. (approx. 1/3 cup)

Preheat the grill and place 2-3 marinated shrimp onto each skewer.

Depending on the size of the shrimp, they might only take 5-6 minutes or maybe 8-10 minutes tops to cook.

Serve the shrimp skewers up while they're still nice and hot with steamed rice on the side if you like and a big dollop of the pesto....and then finish with a squeeze of lemon juice over the top of everything.

HINTS:

If you're using wooden skewers it's a good idea to soak them in water a bit ahead of time.
Cook a batch of rice to serve with it if you like. Use any leftover pesto as a sauce for other grilled seafood, chicken or lamb.
