Pesto Marinade For Chicken Or Shrimp - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pesto sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, smashed
fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

Mix all ingredients together.
Marinate chicken for at least an hour, more is better! For shrimp, don't marinate too long--the lemon will \"cook\" the shrimp. It doesn't ruin it, but it changes the texture a bit.
Brush marinade on meat while it's cooking. (Discard garlic chunks).
Works well with chicken, shrimp, and firm white fish. I think it would be good with pork tenderloin, but I haven't made that yet!
