How to Make Basil Parmesan Shrimp
- Prepare the dressing: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the basil is fragrant.
- Prepare the shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss 1 pound shrimp with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Sauté the shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Drain the shrimp on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- To serve: Place a bed of lettuce on each plate. Top with the cooked shrimp and drizzle generously with the warm basil-Parmesan dressing.
