    Loved it! Very easy and you totally appreciate having an herb garden when it comes to dishes like this! We served it with another of Giada's recipes--Lemon-Basil Potatoes but serving it over plain linguine would probably work as well.

    Very good recipe, entire family loved it. I am not a big pesto fan but this was different. The mint adds a lot of character. Versatile too - I made a sandwich of french bread, tomato and mozzarella slices, topped it with some of the pesto - delicious.

    Turned this into a salad - varied the recipe slightly by tossing the shrimp in some olive oil, salt & pepper, then roasted them in a 400 degree oven for about six minutes. Served the pesto tossed shrimp over spring salad greens with small parmesan chunks, toasted pine nuts and peas. Incorporated some of the leftover pesto to a simple lemon and olive oil vinaigrette as a dressing. Good stuff and also enjoyed by my husband!

    I had never made pesto myself before and I think I'm going to have to ttry a few more recipes. I can't put my finger on what was wrong, but I certainly didn;t like it. Neither did my husband who normally will smile and tell me anything I make is good ;

    I WAS SCARED THIS WOULD BE TOO MINTY BUT IT JUST HAD A HINT OF MINT, I JUST LOVED THIS RECIPE, IT WAS SO EASY TO MAKE, I WILL FREEZE THE REST OF THE PESTO FOR NEXT TIME, I CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THIS AGAIN.

    used the pesto on veggie-sausages instead of shrimp, nice flavor and simple to make!
