Clarified Basil Butter

Using the same (clarified) butter that I use to make all of my Cookies, I blended up this here Clarified Basil Butter by simply adding one whole basil leaf to a spoonful of clarified butter and mixing the both up. Similar to the Magic Sauce that I posted a while back as well as the Strawberry Cilantro Sauce that I recently whipped together and the Mango Relish that I just sliced up, this Clarified Basil Butter goes excellent with just about any meal you can think of, especially meats and salads! What would you use it on?

Mango Relish

As simple as thinly (or thickly should you like your relish thick) slicing some mango, yellow sweet peppers and red sweet peppers, this Mango Relish is an excellent compliment alongside or atop any meat, salad or fruit dish you can think of. Furthermore, if you are one to add herbs (i.e cilantro, basil, mint, parsley, thyme, lavender, spearmint, dill, rosemary, sage) to your snacks, toss said herb in with the relish-ness and see what it do. I came up with this relish when I was consuming all of that Tequila Lime Pork Loin and used cilantro along with it…. Stay tuned to see these dishes as well as other dishes of mine that get treated (right) with this here relish.

Strawberry Shrimp Salad

Just when you thought all Scotty snacked on was Oatmeal Squares, Cookies, Smoothies, Beignets, Beef Tacos, Steaks, Po-boys, Pizza and Jambalaya, BAM!!, here I come again with a dish that (hopefully) makes you go mmmmmm. This healthy snack was super easy and super fun to create and, since I already had some strawberries (leftover from the ones I used for the Strawberry Sugar Cookie Cake Recipe), I went to the grocery store thinking 1/2 Lb of shrimp and 1 bag or organic lettuce then figured I might as well add some flavor with a homemade dressing so I scooped some fat free, organic yogurt along with a lime and a bundle of cilantro (and used last 3 said ingredients along with some strawberries to create my Strawberry Cilantro Dip & Dressing Sauce). After cleaning (i.e. watering off) then searing the shrimp in a skillet with some clarified butter, I spooned them on top of the pre-cleaned lettuce, tossed in the strawberries that I sliced then drizzled some of my home-made dressing all about it.

*Also to mention: As you can see from image, I had some chopped cojita cheese lying around in the fridge so, I made like Rich Boy from Mobile, Alabama and threw some ~~D’s~~ cheese on that.. salad
