1
In a large bowl, add the shrimp, half a cup of pesto, half the lemon juice, and salt. Mix well, ensuring all the shrimp are coated. Let it marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
3
Using a basting brush, lightly coat the grill grates with extra virgin olive oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
4
Place the marinated shrimp on the grill, cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are plump and have nice charred marks.
5
In the same large bowl, add the remaining pesto and the rest of the lemon juice. Toss the grilled shrimp in the bowl to coat them evenly in the pesto mixture.
6
Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
