Basil Marinated Shrimp

Oh my these shrimp.. A combination of every flavor I love. You can pan sear or bake these but we like to put them on skewers and grill them.


Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 Tb evoo
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted 
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice 
  • 3 Tb dijon mustard 
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh basil or 1/4 cup dried but fresh is always better
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 lb fresh deveined and peeled large shrimp
  • Bamboo skewers, soaked in water


In a large bowl stir together evoo and melted butter. Stir in lemon juice, mustard, basil and garlic and season with salt and pepper.  Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Skewer if you plan on grilling them, make sure you presoak in water so they don't char!
