Ingredients
200g jumbo shrimp, peeled
2 tsp pesto
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 clove garlic
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
120g avocado, diced
2 wedge lemon juice
5g basil, chopped
Method
- Place the shrimp in a large bowl, spoon in the pesto, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir carefully to coat the shrimp.
- Place a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the garlic, and sautee for 1 minute. Then, pour in the shrimp and spread so that none of them overlap.
- Cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp looks pink and opaque. Pour them back into the bowl and set aside.
- Allow the shrimp to cool before adding in the chopped tomatoes and avocado pieces, stirring very gently before drizzle with your fresh squeezed lemon juice.Mix once more and serve up on a large plate, garnish with the basil and tuck in.
