Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting half of the butter with olive oil. You can also use fresh herbs like thyme or oregano instead of basil. If you want a bit more heat, increase the Tabasco sauce. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they should be pink and firm. This dish can also be served with a side of Shrimp Tomato Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
