Organic Basil

Trader Joe’s Organic Basil is fresh, flavorful and fairly priced. Basil adds wonderful flavor to garden-fresh salads and cold soups. Making a batch of pesto is a snap with a big bunch of these vibrant green leaves, and requires no heat at all. Summer just wouldn’t be summer without aCaprese salad, and a Caprese just wouldn’t be a Capresewithout fresh, Organic Basil. At Trader Joe’s, we’re selling each container for $2.99*, a fresh value, every day.

• 1 pound raw shrimp, (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined, tails left on
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large ripe, firm mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see Tip)
• 1 bunch scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1. Toss shrimp with salt, cayenne to taste and turmeric in a medium bowl. Cover; refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; place the shrimp in a single layer and cook until the undersides turn salmon-pink, about 1 minute. Flip them over and cook for 1 minute more.
3. Add mango, scallion greens and basil and cook, stirring, until the shrimp is just cooked and starts to barely curl, 1 to 2 minutes.
• • Tip: How to cut a mango:
  • 1. Slice both ends off the mango, revealing the long, slender seed inside. Set the fruit upright on a work surface and remove the skin with a sharp knife.
  • 2. With the seed perpendicular to you, slice
  • the fruit from both sides of the seed, yielding two large pieces.
  • 3. Turn the seed parallel to you and slice the two smaller pieces of fruit from each side.
  • 4. Cut the fruit into the desired shape.
