I just noticed that I had my ninetieth post yesterday, boy how time flies when you are having fun. The biggest problem I have is remembering what I have posted and what I have stored. Maybe a little Alzheimer's setting in already. It is snowing again here and yesterday I was watching on DEMAND COOKING and found this easy recipe. Courtesy of Ellie Kreiger of the Food Network. I just can't resist the food that Ellie makes. The hubby loved it, I thought it was a little to hot for my tastes. Try it and let me know what you think it was really easy to make and I am sure it was very low in calories.
Garlic Basil Shrimp
2 tablespoons olive oil
11/4 pound of shrimp peeled & deveined
3 garlic cloves minced
1/8 teaspoon dried hot-pepper flakes
3/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes halved
salt and pepper to taste
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in good sized pan, add shrimp and cook two minutes on each side until they are a nice pink color. Remove shrimp from pan add garlic and hot pepper flakes and white wine simmer until it thickens up just a little about three minutes. (When I got to the fridge I noticed my basil was wilted, so I just used a little lettuce and some dried basil.) Add basil, tomatoes and shrimp to wine portion and cook one minute. Salt and pepper to taste.

Ih my, the shrimp and basil combined! The flavors must have been amazing. I like Ellie's recipes too. Your salad looks beautiful.
This sounds like a terrific combination. That 1/8 teaspoon pepperflakes sounds just about right to me. I really appreciate the work Ellie Kreiger does. She's so good I can't figure out why she didn't make the A list at FNTV.
That looks good, we love the heat in our household :) Isnt Ellie just the cutest thing!
This looks so good Nett! A nice healthy meal with a little kick of heat! thanks for sharing!
This looks like you are trying to bring a little springtime out when it is snowing. I thought MN was having a late start to spring - but we are done with snow. Thanks for sharing - this looks like a great light dinner. Fun blog!
This sounds so good to me! But then again, ALL your recipes are just top drawer!!
I make something similar - and all variations are addictive. I love the addition of the hot pepper flakes - I don't do that and I can taste it now. Mmm. Very good!
I will sure try this. It looks just like a dish I had in New Orleans a few years ago. Spicy and hot just like my women.
I am thawing shrimp right now, how did you know?? Thanks for the recipe.
Love the heat in this recipe. Looks like a fantastic dish
I THINK I posted this same post not so long ago. It looks awesome. I am a sucker for shrimp!!!!!!
