These are delicious!

An alternative way to cook these (that I used the first time) is to spread the shrimp on a sheet pan, add the sliced lemons, and the seasoning and EVOO and bake in the oven until almost done. Then put the oven on broil to give the shrimp a little char! I did make my own pesto, but you can buy it at the grocery store already prepared.
