Shrimp Basil Recipe


Shrimp Basil Recipe
Great for using up a bumper crop of basil. I loved the addition of green onions in this. Taken from American Profile, a newspaper magazine insert.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound uncooked pasta, any variety (I used angel hair)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1 garlic clove minced (I used two)
  • 1 bunch green onion, chopped (white and green parts - I used two bunches)
  • 3 large Roma tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup chopped basil
  • 2 Tbs. butter
  • 1 pound raw medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Directions
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. (I made the "sauce" while the pasta cooked.)
  2. Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 15 seconds, stirring constantly. Add green onions, tomatoes, basil, butter and remaining olive oil.
  3. Make a well in the center of the skillet. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 3 minutes (I turned them over halfway through cook time). Do not stir. When shrimp are cooked, stir once and cook one minute longer.
  4. Arrange pasta on a serving platter and spoon shrimp and vegetables on top. Sprinkle with salt; toss gently. Top with additional chopped basil, if desired.

Sounds totally yummy. Bookmarked and going to try this soon.


This is a must try, just printed off.


Sounds Great. I can't wait to try this one.
Thanks :)


I made this tonight and it was very good. I wanted to reduce the calories, so I omitted the butter and reduced the olive oil by half. I squirted fresh lemon juice on it before serving. Very healthy recipe, will definitely make this again.
