Brown Butter & Thai Basil Garlic Shrimp – a spin on the regular garlic shrimp we all know & love. In this recipe the butter is browned until it develops & deep, nutty flavor with a hint of chili added & the Thai basil leaves elevating it to something quite spectacular.

This is one of those recipes you can come home & throw together in 10 minutes, stick the pan in the middle of the table & let everyone dig in & help themselves. It’s ridiculously simple. And boldly flavored.

Brown Butter & Thai Basil Garlic Shrimp

When you use one or two boldly flavored ingredients in a recipe, such as Thai basil & garlic, then you don’t need to crowd the recipe with superfluous ingredients – saving on time, & money.

My husband & I devoured these Brown Butter & Thai Basil Garlic Shrimp for dinner last night with a cucumber, pineapple & herb salad drizzled with a nuoc mam-style dressing. To say it was good is an understatement. It was one of those meals that you could just keep on eating & eating. And eating. And seriously, the whole meal took under 30 minutes to prep & cook. This Mango, Grapefruit & Toasted Coconut Salad would be completely amazing with these shrimp. Just crack open a bottle of your favorite white vino & dinner is done. If you’re having company over then maybe serve a cheese board with some fresh & dried fruit & nuts.

I’m all about keeping things simple these days. How about you? I’m simplifying my diet, my home, finances & relationships. I believe we can make life as simple or as complicated as we want. The choice is yours. Starting in the kitchen is the easiest place for me. Toodles, chat to you soon,

Date & Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies: were born from a Date & Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies: were born from a need to use up ingredients that had been in my pantry for some time – dates, dark chocolate (yes, I know the fact chocolate stayed in my house without being eaten is a miracle) and oats. So many oats. This recipe uses three cups of oats and makes a large batch of cookies. Perfect for sharing. And although oatmeal cookies certainly aren’t particularly pretty, stylist or photogenic – speaking from experience, they do possess something most other cookies don’t have and that’s fiber. Something alarmingly lacking in western diets. Oats, dates and dark chocolate…all good sources of fiber.
