Today I am sharing a simple and delicious lemon basil shrimp recipe that is perfect for summer.

This dish is made with fresh shrimp, lemon zest and juice, basil, and capers. It is light and refreshing, and it can be served as an appetizer or a main course.

The shrimp is cooked in olive oil and garlic, and then combined with the other ingredients. It is best to refrigerate the shrimp for at least 2 hours before serving, so that the flavors can meld.

I love this recipe because it is so easy to make, and it always turns out delicious. It is also a great way to use up any leftover shrimp.

If you are looking for a light and refreshing summer dish, this lemon basil shrimp is a great option. It is easy to make, and it is always a crowd-pleaser.

Here are a few tips for making this recipe:

  • Use the freshest shrimp you can find.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. It should be cooked just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Refrigerate the shrimp for at least 2 hours before serving, so that the flavors can meld.
  • Serve the shrimp with your favorite sides, such as crusty bread, rice, or salad.

    • Step-by-step

      • Heat oil in a large skillet until shimmery. Add garlic and cook for a minute.
      • Add enough shrimp to cook in a single layer. Cook until just opaque in the center, turning once (about 5 minutes). Repeat until all shrimp are cooked.
      • Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
      • Add shrimp and gently combine. Cover and refrigerate for 2-24 hours.
