Pesto Shrimp Skewers
Pesto Shrimp Skewers are a quick and delicious dinner for busy weeknights. Shrimp are one of my go-to proteins for a quick dinner because they take literally minutes to cook. These pesto shrimp take no time to prepare and are perfect for an easy dinner when you’re short on time. Shrimp are a great source of protein and calcium, and marinating them in fresh basil pesto keeps this dish super light!
