- 2 pounds cooked, peeled medium to jumbo shrimp
- ½ cup fresh flat leaf parsley leaves
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 ½ tablespoons blanched almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 garlic clove
- salt and pepper to taste
Place the herbs, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, almonds and seasoning into a blender and purée. Add water until you reach a dipping consistency. Serve alongside the boiled shrimp
