CEiMB: Garlic Basil Shrimp


I have been horribly neglecting my food clubs. But hopefully, for the time being anyway, I can get back to making my weekly Ellie recipes.

This recipe was chosen by Tea and Scones, and I didn't hesitate for a second when I saw what we were making. Garlic. Basil. Shrimp. Just looking at those three words makes me happy!

It's just as good as it sounds, and incredibly quick and easy to make. The flavors are so fresh and clean that you'll just feel healthier by eating it, without losing on an ounce of flavor.

I served this with an orzo that I cooked al dente, and then added big handfuls of chopped spinach and feta cheese. A bit of salt and pepper and you have the perfect side dish.
