Things To Make With Shrimp

Shrimp Ideas – Basil Lime Shrimp

Last night, I cooked Basil Lime Shrimp.  This is a dish I most proud of because it is my daughter’s recipe.

I am proud because my daughter insists she can cook but chooses not to.  She also says she did not like to cook because when she lived at home, I would hover over her while she was cooking.  This all led to me saying she could not cook.

A few months ago, she made her Basil Lime Shrimp, and we loved it.  I liked it so much, I asked her to share the recipe with me.  Now I would like to share this simple and quick recipe.

This recipe can be served as an appetizer or over rice.

Basil Lime Shrimp Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 pound medium/large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/4 cup basil
• Cooked rice

Cooking instructions:

• Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and chili powder in a medium bowl
• Place butter in a large pan/skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the shrimp to the pan/skillet
• Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until just pink.
• Stir in the garlic
• Stir in lime juice
• Cook shrimp and garlic until lightly brown.

If you would like more sauce add more tablespoons of butter.
