Instead of serving cold shrimp with cocktail sauce, prepare this simple basil sauce and top it with tender cooked shrimp. It's a fun and fancy appetizer. Ken Hulme, Prescott, Arizona Ingredients:
1 medium ripe mango or 2 medium peaches, peeled and sliced |
2 to 4 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
12 cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1 tablespoon butter |
basil sprigs, optional |
Directions:
1. In a blender or food processor, combine the mango, basil and lemon juice; cover and process until blended. Pour onto two serving plates; set aside.
2. Skewer two shrimp each onto six 4- to 6-in. metal or soaked wooden skewers, forming a heart shape. Cook in a large skillet in butter over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once. Place over mango sauce. Garnish with basil springs if desired. Yield: 2 servings.
