\"Paleo<\/a>
\nI\u2019ve made Paleo-friendly pesto a couple of times now, and I started out with this recipe<\/a>.\u00a0I made some changes to the recipe in order to make it even more paleo-friendly and creamy. I substitute parmesan cheese with \u00bd of an avocado.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 cups fresh chopped basil<\/strong> leaves
\n\u00bd cup extra virgin olive oil<\/strong>
\n1\/3 cup pine nuts<\/strong>
\n3 garlic<\/strong> cloves
\n\u00bd avocado<\/strong> diced
\nSalt<\/strong> and pepper<\/strong> to taste
\n1 zucchini<\/strong>
\n5-7 frozen shrimp<\/strong>
\nRed pepper<\/strong> (Cayenne)
\nCoconut oil<\/strong> or olive oil
\n1\/2 lemon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Paleo<\/a>
\nPesto Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Put chopped basil, pine nuts, and garlic into a blender or food processor and mix. I used a blender and I had no problems.
\n2. Add olive oil and avocado. Blend again until creamy.
\n3. Add salt and pepper as needed.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t get much simpler than this!<\/p>\n

\"Paleo<\/a>
\nZucchini
\n<\/strong>
\n1. Rinse zucchini, then slice long ways and then cut into spaghetti-like strips.
\n2. Put in microwave-safe dish and microwave for 1 minute. Zucchini should be soft.<\/p>\n

One very important aspect of paleo eating is having enough food on hang to cook a healthy meal on any given day. One of my favorite food items to keep handy is frozen shrimp.<\/p>\n

\"Paleo<\/a>
\nShrimp<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Put frozen shrimp in pan and heat until de-thawed.
\n2. Strain the shrimp and rinse the pan.
\n3. Add coconut oil or olive oil, enough to grease the pan. Squeeze in lemon and add shrimp back in.
\n4. Cook on medium heat. Season with cayenne pepper.<\/p>\n

\"Paleo<\/a>
\nCombine all three and voila! A great paleo-friendly dish. This recipe will make enough pesto to have leftovers. I recommend making the zucchini and shrimp on an as-needed basis since it is very simple to make when you already have your pesto handy, but you can certainly make more and have leftovers as well!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll leave you with a great tip from Paleo Diet Lifestyle<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIce cube trays make a good vessel to freeze the finished pesto. Simply pour the pesto in the small cubes and freeze. When making a recipe with pesto, thaw a couple of cubes and you\u2019ve got your pesto.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
