Enhance the Pesto Flavor:
- Use freshly made pesto with high-quality ingredients, such as fresh basil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese.
- Add a touch of lemon zest or juice to brighten the pesto.
- Experiment with different types of pesto, such as sun-dried tomato pesto or arugula pesto.
Complement the Shrimp:
- Marinate the shrimp in a mixture of citrus juices (such as lemon or lime), olive oil, and herbs before grilling.
- Use large, succulent shrimp for a more satisfying bite.
- Add other seafood to the skewers, such as scallops or halibut.
Elevate the Skewers:
- Alternate shrimp with vegetables on the skewers, such as grilled bell peppers, zucchini, or onions.
- Use wooden or metal skewers that can withstand high heat.
- Skewer the shrimp and vegetables tightly to prevent them from falling off during grilling.
Sauce Accompaniments:
- Serve the skewers with a flavorful dipping sauce, such as a creamy horseradish sauce or a tangy citrus vinaigrette.
- Drizzle the skewers with melted butter or olive oil before serving for extra richness.
Presentation:
- Arrange the skewers on a platter lined with grilled lemon halves or fresh herbs.
- Garnish with additional pesto or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Additional Tips:
- Grill the shrimp skewer over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked through.
- Allow the skewers to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the pesto to set.
- Serve the skewers with a side of grilled bread or a fresh green salad.
