Ingredients:

Serving

1 lime
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
2 green onions, chopped
2 tbsp toasted chopped pecans
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 lb raw medium-size shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt

Directions:

Pesto: Grate 1 teaspoon zest from the lime and juice the entire lime for about 2 tablespoons of juice. Combine the zest and juice with the cilantro, green onions, chopped pecans, chopped garlic, sugar, vegetable oil, and extra-virgin olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the mixture until well-combined, but still slightly chunky. Season the pesto with salt, and pepper, to taste.
Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the pesto. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the shrimp until just opaque and pink, about 3 minutes. Put a generous spoonful of pesto into a serving bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Serve the remaining pesto on the side or freeze for another use.
