2 cups fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 clove garlic
1/2 cup olive oil

DIRECTIONS
In a food processor pulse basil, garlic, pine nuts, salt and pepper until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil while pulsing.
Combine raw shrimp with a couple of spoonfuls of pesto and marinate a few hours in a bowl. Transfer to skillet, cover & cook over medium heat for about 4-5 mins, stirring halfway through.
Meanwhile, add oil & cauliflower rice to skillet over medium heat; stirring frequently. Reduce to simmer & cover 10-15 mins, stirring occassionally until softened.
Stir pesto into the cauliflower rice. Start with a few tablespoons and add more as needed until it reaches your desired taste. You may not need the entire amount and can reserve any unused pesto for another recipe.
Serve shrimp over cauliflower rice.
