Summer Dreaming

Today is a bleak, chilly, overcast, day in March, and all I think about is the warm summer sunshine. I miss sandal weather and my beautiful basil plant. In a few weeks, I will be able to plant seeds and have a near endless supply for my summer cooking. This recipe was a creation I made last summer with my basil, Sun Dried Tomato Pesto with Broiled Shrimp Skewers served over fettuccine. 

 

This pesto was quite easy to make. Basil, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and parmesan cheese were blended in the food processor.  The shrimp were broiled with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This meal was light, fresh, and delicious.
