• Make the pesto first. Combine the macadamia nuts, cilantro, garlic, EVOO, sea salt and pepper in a food processor, and blend until smooth.
• Peel and devein the shrimp.
• Place a steamer basket in a large sauce pot, and boil about an inch of water. While the water is heating, run a julienne or regular vegetable peeler along each of the squash until you reach the venter, seedy part. Steam the squash for about 3-5 minutes Set the steamed squash "noodles" aside.
• Steam the shrimp for approximately 3 minutes or until they're pink all the way through.
• Place the steamed squash into a mixing bowl with the pesto and toss until well combined.
• Top the noodles with the shrimp and serve warm.
