Preparation
Marinate shrimp with cilantro pesto and place on skewers.
Grill approx 2 minutes per side, remove, and set aside.
Grab a bag of bite size chips or tostada (I use a pumpkin seed tostada)
Then begin assembly: Chip, Guacamole, chipotle sauce, and shrimp
Guacamole
Avocado 3 each
Tomato (diced) 1 each
Red Onion (diced) ½ each
Lime for Juice 1 each
Cilantro 3 Tbls
Jalapeño (diced) 1 each (deseeded)
Sour Cream ¼ cup
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mash using a whisk.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Grilled Shrimp
Shrimp (peeled/deveined) 24 each
Cilantro Pesto (1 cup)
2 cups, packed, of cilantro, large stems removed
1/2 cup blanched almonds
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon chopped and seeded serrano chile
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
In a food processor, pulse the cilantro, almonds, onion, chile, and salt until well blended. With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream.
Chipotle Puree (¼ cup)
Take 2-3 chipotles and adobo sauce and puree in blender.

These things are so good! I could easily eat these all by myself...though I wouldn't be having anything else. 
Give 'em a try some time for friends and see how fast they go. I gaurantee you won't make enough.

they were a big hit and definitely something i will do again...and again. i switched it up a bit but the basics were still there. i switched up the cilatro pesto for more of a basil chimichurri. plus i added some sour cream and honey to the chipotle puree.
thanks again for the post. an appetizer like this is a great one to have in the arsenal. |

Interesting twist to it...but that's the beauty of cooking you can make them your own by tweaking them.
Glad you liked the idea...

| very Very nice my friend good to see other folks goin the extra mile . now the following could be hazardous to your waistline but.... in my humble opinion the truly common denominator with both shrimp and pesto is garlic,garlic,and maybe, just a thought.. a little more garlic. thats gonna be tuff to quit |
