    These are a wonderful addition to your summer barbecues.  You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand.  If you want chicken, substitute chicken for shrimp.  Or make them with only vegetables! You can easily make these ahead of time, refrigerate and grill them when you are ready.  I love pesto.  I love pesto. I love pesto!
