Pesto Shrimp/ Pesto Prawns Skewers/Pesto Grilled Prawns

Pesto grilled shrimps or prawn skewers is a great appetizer or starter which I tried in one dinner buffet ..I love pesto and i knew i had to give this a try ..At the very beginning of my blogging journey i had shared pesto and pesto pasta .After a very long I'm sharing another hit pesto dish.
The flavours of this yummy pesto marries well with prawns or shrimps and makes it was just amazing..
You can marinate these skewers ahead and just grill or pan fry them while you serve it foe barbecue party or any get togethers..your family and friends will love it absolutely.

You can serve this with garlic noodles or any herb rice..its simply sumptuous. If you have a bottle pesto made ahead then making this can be done in.no time but marinating these a little longer brings out some.lovely flavours.
