Arbeitsschritte:
- In a food processor, combine the pine nuts and garlic and process until finely chopped. Add the 3 cups arugula and process until coarsely chopped. With the processor running, gradually add the olive oil in a steady stream and process until smooth. Turn off the machine and add the lemon juice and cheese, then pulse until incorporated. Transfer the pesto to a bowl and season with salt and pepper as needed.

- Toss the shrimp with the oil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes on each side, until pink and cooked through.
