Grilled Pesto Ranch Shrimp

A container of store-bought pesto in the fridge is the quickest way to complete a meal, and this sweet grilled shrimp is no exception. Simply shake on some ranch seasoning for the first flavor layer, and finish with the bright pesto sauce. This Grilled Pesto Ranch Shrimp recipe works as a passed app on skewers or pulled off and served over rice, pasta or salad for a complete meal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features Grilled Pesto Ranch Shrimp is a culinary delight! The shrimp are perfectly grilled, giving them a smoky flavor that pairs wonderfully with the rich, herbaceous pesto. The ranch dressing adds a creamy tang that complements the dish beautifully. Each bite is a burst of savory goodness, making it an ideal choice for a summer barbecue or a quick, delicious meal. Highly recommend trying this for a flavorful and satisfying seafood treat!
