Quick Shrimp

This one is so easy, I probably should be embarrassed to post it.

No embarrassment here though!  It's MUCH too tasty to keep to myself.

Quick Shrimp
Recipe from my mother-in-law
Prep time: 5 minute   Cook time: 10 minutes

2 tbsp butter
1-2 tbsp chopped onion
1 lb uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil OR 1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 cup Parmesan 

1.  Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat.   

Buy shrimp frozen and thaw in a bowl of COLD water.

2.  Add shrimp and onion; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until shrimp are light pink. 

Stay close. Shrimp cooks quickly!

3.  Add basil; mix well. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. 

Butter, thickened with cheese, kicked up with basil.  YUMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!

There are so many ways you could eat this.  Usually I spoon this buttery shrimp loveliness over hot pasta.  I also see nothing wrong with pouring these beauties into a bowl and sopping up all that butter goodness with a crusty piece of French bread. And if you're feeling guilty about the sauce, add a side salad and call is a great meal!
