AVOCADO PESTO

MAKES 4-6 SERVINGS

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch Fresh Basil
• 2 Avocados, pitted
• ½ Cup Pine Nuts
• ½ Lemon, juiced
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 3 Tbsp. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
• 16-24 oz. Shrimp (serving suggestion)
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

Directions:

1)  In a food processor add the basil, avocados, pine nuts, lemon juice, garlic cloves and olive oil.
2)  Process until smooth and creamy.
3) In a saucepan, heat a tbsp. of olive oil and sauté shrimps until they turn pink, then season with the spices of you choice. I like using Cajun spices.
5) Enjoy!

Note: Serve immediately because this dish does not reheat well due to the avocado in the sauce that turns black after a while.
