INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole Seasoning}" recipe which
is included in this collection. Make basil oil: Puree basil, shallots,
garlic, salt, 3 turns of pepper and olive oil in a food processor,
about 1 minute. Scrape into a small bowl and set aside. Oil can be
prepared up to 1 week in advance and stored in an airtight container
in refrigerator. Toss shrimp with Bayou Blast until well-coated. Heat
a large, heavy, ungreased skillet over high heat. When very hot, add
shrimp and sear each side for 3 minutes. Spoon 2 tablespoons basil oil
onto each warmed dinner plate. Arrange 6 shrimp on top and drizzle
with another tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle with red pepper and green
onion before serving. This recipe yields 4 servings. Recipe Source:
