½ cup baby spinach leaves
¼ cup fresh basil leaves
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 pound peeled shrimp
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray. In the bowl of your food processor, add the spinach, basil, cheese, garlic and lemon juice. Pulse until well combined. Stream in one tablespoon of the olive oil with the processor running and then transfer the mixture to a shallow dish. Stir in the remaining olive oil and Panko. Take the shrimp and coat with the Panko-Pesto mixture and place in a single layer in the greased baking dish. Once all the shrimp are coated, bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until shrimp are cooked through. Cooking time will vary based on the size of your shrimp.

Beautiful color! Light, quick, classy :)
These look great. I rarely think to bake shrimp, but I'm definitely giving this recipe a try.
Yum, this sounds like a really good shrimp dish. I love pesto with anything and have been meaning to make it since I bought basil at the store. Glad you posted this.
Baking shrimp is so quick and easy, ever since I made Ina's roasted shrimp cocktail I have been making them in the oven.
I absolutely adore baked shrimp, and I love the idea of adding spinach to the pesto!
Yum! These look delicious!
While I will never taste these myself (crustacean allergy), I bet the Teenager and TheFoodCritic at my house would LOVE this!
They love all things involving pesto, and both love shrimp. Looks like a winner to me!
