Thread shrimp onto skewers.

In food processor blend olive oil, garlic, red pepper, salt, Parmesan cheese, and walnuts until blended. Add basil leaves. Process until well blended. Reserve about 2 Tbl of pesto. Pour the rest of the marinade over the shrimp and let sit at room temp for 30 minutes.

Preheat grill to medium high heat. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil, and, using tongs carefully rub the grates several times until glossy and coated. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook until plump and slightly charred, a few minutes per side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to the bowl with the reserved pesto and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
