Adapted from a recipe on the box a tube of Amore Pesto Paste came in. Quite good, I think. Preparation time doesn't include 2 hours marinating time. Instructions are for broiling but shrimp can also be grilled. PLEASE NOTE: In ingredients list, the 4th item should be pesto paste , but the Recipezaar program turns it into pesto sauce, paste.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup dry white wine
4 teaspoons pesto sauce, paste
3 garlic cloves, minced or 3 teaspoons garlic paste
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion
pepper
1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined, but tails intact
3/4 lb feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, cut in 8 wedges (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine first 8 ingredients (oil through pepper). Add shrimp, turning to coat and marinate, covered, in fridge at least 2 hours.
2. Cook orzo until al dente (10-12 minutes).
3. Meanwhile, preheat broiler.
4. Spread marinated shrimp in a single layer in a foil-lined broiling pan; pour marinade over shrimp.
5. Broil shrimp 4 inches from heat, 3 minutes per side, until firm and lightly colored.
6. Serve shrimp over orzo and pour pan juices over top. Scatter cheese and parsley over the shrimp.
7. Serve with lemon wedges.
