Shrimp with Basil and Coriander
More Shrimp! I have to say...shrimp is such a convenient little protein to keep in your fridge. (I'm talking to you now, Bi2.) You can just grab a handful each day and spice it up however you like it. And it cooks super fast. So here's it is!
7 pieces of shrimp (soaking in some salted water)
2 tsp olive oil (just coat the pan)
1 tomato
1 clove of garlic
1 sprinkle of sugar
1/2 tsp of salt (more to taste)
1 heaping tsp of coriander pwd
1 Tbsp + 2 Tbsp of fresh basil
a splash of water
Cut up the garlic and fry it in the olive oil until golden over medium heat. Add tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are smushy. Then add coriander powder, sugar and salt. Finally add 1 Tbsp of basil and a splash of water (if the sauce is looking kind of dry.) Cook until the basil is fragrant.
Add shrimp and cook until the head of the shrimp barely touches the tail. Add the rest of the basil... and you're done!
How easy was that?!?
