This is a very good recipe. I used chicken instead of shrimp because I am not a big fan of fish. It was very tasty. The walnuts give it a little crunch. I will definately make this again.

There are many recipes in your new Italian magazine that I want to try but this one caught my eye first. Wow! Fantastic flavor and easy to make! I made it according to the recipe but may add mushrooms next time.. excellent as is though!

This recipe is absolutely fantastic. We loved the toasted walnuts--definitely an extra-special touch. I'm sending this to my daughter, who LOVES pesto!

Re: Pesto Shrimp Toss I prepared this dish for my husband a couple of nights ago. It's a definite "keeper". Leftovers seem even better. I used broccoli, green pepper and wedged onion in the veggie mixture. Seved with a salad this is a complete meal.

I just prepared this for a quick family dinner, and it was a hit! I subsituted broccoli for the asparagus, and added 1/2 a red pepper I had laying around. One eater even commented that it was better than the last shrimp meal he had a Red Lobster. This is going to be a repeat. I'm excited about having it cold for lunch tommarow as a salad.
