SHRIMP AND BASIL STIR-FRY
Why buy a whole bunch of basil for just one sprig? Here, two huge handfuls are wilted into charred shrimp for a sweet fragrance that offsets the spicy marinade.

- Combine garlic, shallots, mustard, wine, lemon juice, olive oil and basil in a bowl. Stir to blend. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Let stand until ready to cook.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Poach the shrimp gently. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Bring the water to a simmer before adding the shrimp, and then cook them for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
- Make sure the ponzu sauce is well-balanced. The sauce should be salty, sour, and slightly sweet. If it is too salty, add a little more rice vinegar. If it is too sour, add a little more sugar. If it is too sweet, add a little more soy sauce.
- Serve the shrimp chilled. This dish is best served cold, so make sure to chill the shrimp and the ponzu sauce before serving.
Conclusion:
Chilled shrimp with basil ponzu sauce is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. The shrimp are poached gently and then chilled, which makes them tender and juicy. The ponzu sauce is a delicious combination of salty, sour, and sweet flavors, and it perfectly complements the shrimp. This dish is sure to be a hit with your guests!
