Welcome to #InaFridays! Starting today,we are going to blog First Friday of every month a recipe from Ina Garten’s kitchen. For the uninitiated, Ina Garten is a beloved chef who has trailblazed through the cooking world with her simple-to-make-yet-fabulous-to-eat recipes. A former White House nuclear analyst, Ina is noted for using fresh ingredients and wonderful time saving tips on cooking. Her foray into chef stardom started with opening of her Gourmet store ‘Barefoot Contessa’, followed by writing of numerous mega successful cookbooks and she continues to evolve as a celebrity chef in the popular Food Network decade long show ‘The Barefoot Contessa’.

April is the Appetizer Month. Today, I am doing a take off from a recipe by Ina she calls ‘Grilled Herb Shrimps’. Keeping the basic idea of cooking with herbs, I made some changes. Ina’s recipe uses parsley which I don’t use in my cooking. So I came up with a slight variation, combining basil with allspice and lettuce.
Adapted from Ina Garten’s Grilled Herb Shrimps.
- 2 pounds large shrimp (16 to 20 per pound), peeled and deveined (you can keep tails on)
