Thai Pesto Shrimp with Cilantro-Lime Rice

Thai Pesto Shrimp with Cilantro-Lime Rice

Spicy cilantro pesto is a great way to add tons of flavor to any meat or seafood, in this case, large shrimp. Fresh cilantro is puréed in a food processor with olive oil, lime juice, honey, ginger and garlic. Throw in a pinch of red pepper flakes for a punch of heat, and feel free to add more if your taste buds are up for it. Serve the shrimp on a puffy cloud of sweet and zesty Coconut-Lime Rice. This one-dish meal is easy on your pocketbook and your waistline.
