Pesto Marinade For Chicken Or Shrimp

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup pesto sauce
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• fresh ground black pepper

Recipe

• 1 mix all ingredients together.
• 2 marinate chicken for at least an hour, more is better! for shrimp, don't marinate too long--the lemon will "cook" the shrimp. it doesn't ruin it, but it changes the texture a bit.
• 3 brush marinade on meat while it's cooking. (discard garlic chunks).
• 4 works well with chicken, shrimp, and firm fish. i think it would be good with lamb tenderloin, but i haven't made that yet!
