I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving with family and had lots to eat! We're all ready for some lighter weight easy fast food to make now. This recipe won't disappoint. It works great as an appetizer, or as a light main. You can even double or triple it up and freeze portions and re-bake it like you would shrimp from a box from the grocery store. Recipe to follow down below.
You also may not want to cook anymore and just dine out. Peller Estates is one of my man and mines favourite places to go to for a special occasion dinner. We generally indulge in their 5 course or 7 course tasting menu paired with wine. You have no idea what you are going to get until it comes out, and everything has always been fantastic, even if it would have been something I normally would have shied away from. Click here to view their menu. Their 5 course tasting menu is usually $89 and is $30 off for the remainder of October with code 'four star', which makes it only $59 (amazing)!!!
Shrimp in Basil Oil:
Ingredients:
- a bag of shrimp (whatever size you would like, I usually use 31/40)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 package of basil leaves, chiffonaded
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- fleur de sel
Directions:
- Peel shrimp and cut in half up the back lengthwise.
- Toss together with the garlic, basil leaves and olive oil and marinate until ready to use (at least one hour).
- Place shrimp cut side up on a parchment paper lined (makes for much easier cleanup) baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over top. Sprinkle each shrimp with fleur de sel.
- Place in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes (all ovens are different) until lightly browned and cooked.
- Enjoy!
Bon Appetit!
