THAI BASIL SHRIMP

Enjoy this tasty, quick and easy to prepare shrimp dish!

Ingredients:

• 10 ounces fresh Tropical Brand Shrimp
• 1/2 cup chopped Thai Basil
• 1/2 Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Lime, cut in half
• Salt & Pepper

Directions:

Season both sides of your fresh Tropical Brand Shrimp with a pinch of Kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, spread your Olive Oil in the pan.

Add your Tropical Shrimp to the pan (tip: start with the tip of one shrimp, if you do not hear a slight sizzle upon contact, then your pan is not ready - give it another minute to heat before adding your shrimp).

Once your shrimp are in the pan, shake it gently to make sure that nothing sticks, then let the shrimp cook - undisturbed - for 1 to 2 minutes.

When the underside of your shrimp turns pink, pull the pan off of the heat and turn each shrimp over individually. Place the pan back over the heat and squeeze your lemon juice over the shrimp. Add your Thai Basil. Allow the shrimp and basil to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes more. Give all of the ingredients one good stir, then remove your Tropical Brand Thai Basil Shrimp from the pan and place them on a serving dish. Sprinkle with basil from the pan and serve with a squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy!
