SAUTE SHRIMP WITH BASIL



The last time I cooked shrimp basil leaves was last year. It's been long time ago. The reason I don't cook shrimp very often is to avoid high cholesterol food ;)

The main ingredients are:
1 lb shrimp (you can use calamari instead, whatever you like)
1 chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2-3 Thai chilies (or jalapeno) cut into pieces
Chicken broth to taste
Salt and sugar to taste
1 tbs sweet soy sauce
1 tbs fish sauce
Basil leaves
Oil to stir fry

How to cook :
Clean the shrimp,then boil approximately 5 minutes in hot water. Remove and drain.
Heat the oil and add garlic, chicken broth, fish sauce, sweet soy sauce, sugar, and salt into the skillet.
Add shrimp and stir frequently then add chopped onion, chilies, and basil leaves.
(don't overcook the onion, chilies, and basil leaves)



- The food tastes great when you cook with your heart - :)
