Tuesday's fresh homemade pesto comes in handy again over grilled shrimp and asparagus. If you're too lazy to skewer the shrimp, you can always just saute it too! Smarts: Pesto goes great with grilled food. Make a big batch at your next BBQ and people will slather it on everything!
If cooking shrimp / asparagus on grill: Preheat grill to 450F (232C) degrees. Clean grates and brush grates, shrimp, and asparagus with some oil (not listed in ingredients). Place shrimp and asparagus over direct heat. Grill shrimp and asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes on each side with the cover closed. Remove shrimp from heat; if using thicker spears, you might have to cook asparagus for a bit longer.
If cooking shrimp / asparagus on stovetop: Heat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with cooking oil. Place shrimp and asparagus onto hot pan and grill both for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove shrimp from heat; if using thicker spears, you might have to cook asparagus for a bit longer.
Microwave pesto for ~15 seconds. Brush leftover pesto over shrimp and asparagus and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Toss vinaigrette with plums, citrus, and greens. Garnish with sliced almonds and enjoy with shrimp and asparagus.
