27 Jul Spicy Thai Basil Shrimp
- 2 lbs Shrimp (1/2 lb per person) (peeled and deveined)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 Thai Red Chili Peppers (adjust to your preference of spiciness)
- 1 small Onion (quartered into stir fry size pieces)
- 1/2 Red Bell Pepper (julienned)
- 1/2 Orange Bell Pepper (julienned)
- 1 Portabello Mushroom (cut into bite size pieces)
- 1 cup Green Beans (cut in half)
- 1 cup Thai Basi (compressed)
- 1 cup Thai Basil (Cinnamon Basil) (larger leaves torn)
- 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp White Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Water
- Chop the Garlic and Red Chilis together making sure the chilis are diced very small
- Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat, adding the garlic/chili mix and sauté until fragrant (but not browned)
- Add the shrimp and continue to sauté until the shrimp are translucent (partially cooked)
- Add the vegetables and cook until they are crisp (not soft).
- Then add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar and water, stirring to coat well
- Remove from heat and fold in the Thai basil
- Serve immediately over rice. (I like to use the brown rice because of the nutty flavour that works well with the spices).
