I added a little butter to the olive oil for the shrimp and instead of a Jalepeno I added three dried Tabasco peppers and almonds instead of pine nuts. Other than those changes I kept true and it was great. The pesto had a little kick at the end but was not overpowering. With this I seared some Ahi Tuna and they worked well together.
