basil oil

My favorite way to serve these grilled shrimp skewers is with a generous drizzle of homemade basil oil—simply basil leaves, olive oil, and sea salt pureed in a blender–and fresh cilantro leaves.

Using small wooden skewers (soak the skewers in water if using on an outdoor grill), thread 3-4 shrimp on each skewer, running the skewer through the neck and once near the tail (see photos above).  Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Place a small amount (2-3 tablespoons) of Mina mild harissa in a small bowl (do not use the marinade for this step) for basting and set aside.

Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) non-stick grill pan over medium-high heat, and spray with cooking oil. Lay the shrimp skewers in the grill pan (do not over crowd the pan) and grill  on for 2-3 minutes on each side–brushing the shrimp with additional harissa as you grill them–or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through

Basil Oil Recipe

basil leaves, packed

garlic

lemon juice,

salt

red pepper flakes, or Aleppo Chili flakes

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until blended. Taste and adjust salt, pepper and lemon. Alternatively, you can pulse this in a blender, but it&#8217;s such a small amount it may be hard to get the blender going- so if using the blender, I usually make a double batch.

Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week. Or freeze with a thin layer of olive oil or lemon juice over the top, to prevent the color from turning.

This Basil Oil recipe is so good you&#039;ll want to drink it. It&#039;s an herb oil that&#039;s a perfect addition to soup, salad, or crusty bread!
