Lemon Basil Shrimp Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1 tbsps olive oil
- 1 tbsp low calorie butter (I like Brummel & Brown)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound uncooked shrimp (thawed if frozen) with tails
- zest of a lemon
- juice from 1-1/2 lemons (about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 red onipns, chopped

Directions:
Heat oil and butter on medium in a large skillet until it just starts to bubble. Add garlic and cook for a minute. Add enough shrimp to cook in a single layer. Cook until just opaque in the center, turning once, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add shrimp and gently combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours and up to 24 hours. To serve as an appetizer, place in dish lined with lettuce leaves and other vegetables, and mound shrimp on top. To serve as a main dish, arrange lettuce leaves on individual serving plates, mound shrimp on one side, and try serving with slices of cheese, fresh fruit and vegetables.
