My Granddaughter is here for a visit. She always requests Shrimp Scampi. This was a cooperative venture between the two of us. . .Lin Finish Scampi photograph. . .Zoe
This looks great - I am going to try it tomorrow except with low-fat sour cream and regular old basil and maybe just a hint of hot red pepper. Yum!
ReplyDeleteHi Katy,
ReplyDeleteI usually buy low-fat sour cream and it's great. I wouldn't recommend fat-free however. Regular basil should work well. Boxwood Basil looks totally different but is like a milder version of regular Genovese (sweet) Basil. Hope it turns out well for you. Thanks for posting :o)
