  • 2 tsp. Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing, Seasoning and Recipe Mix Shaker
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 0.5 cup prepared pesto, plus more for serving

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Brush your shrimp evenly with the pesto, then place your skewers on the grate. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until your shrimp reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF. Your shrimp should look opaque and cooked through.

  • Serve immediately with additional pesto or ranch dressing if desired.
