Week 43 Spicy Shrimp and Pesto

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons yuzu kosho

1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled ginger

1 garlic clove, minced

1 large stalk of fresh lemongrass, pale inner bulb only, minced

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

12 jumbo shrimp (about 3/4 pound)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the yuzu kosho with the ginger, garlic, cilantro and olive oil. Spread half of the pesto on the shrimp and let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the shrimp over high heat, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to plates and serve with the remaining pesto.

*Note yuzu kosho is available at most Japanese grocery stores or Amazon.
