From the Garden: Asian Basil Shrimp & Rice

Posted in Casual Wanderings by meghannchapman on July 27th, 2012

I’ve been sharing a lot of our cooking on Instagram, lately.  I had someone on Facebook ask about one, so I thought I’d share the recipe here.

We don’t get indulge in shrimp often, around here.  However, when we do, we get a bag big enough to last over two or three meals.  For one of those meals, I drew inspiration from my herb garden.

I threw some chopped onion, minced garlic, olive oil and minced fresh Asian Basil into a skillet to caramelize as I shelled my shrimp.  Then I added the shrimp followed by a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice.  Once my shrimp was done, I added generous servings to a bed of white rice.

We ate every last bite.

What sort of fresh ingredients have you been using most, lately?
