LEMON BASIL SHRIMP SALAD
Don't skip the fresh lemon rind and juice in the marinade--it's what makes this recipe special. These shrimp also make a terrific appetizer. The shrimp and dressing, as well as the Parmesan Baskets, can all be made a day ahead. From an article in Southern Living 2006.

GARLIC-LEMON SHRIMP LINGUINE
The Cheesecake Factory has an extensive menu, but I always seem to order their delicious fresh and citrusy Lemon Shrimp Linguine. I'd enjoyed it enough times that I was confident I reproduce it to share with friends and family. Think I hit it spot on! When I have fresh basil from the garden I use that instead of parsley.

SHRIMP PASTA WITH CORN AND BASIL
This particularly American combination of flavors - shrimp and corn - is light, summery and very tasty, both sweet and slightly spicy. If you are feeling flush, you can make this pasta with lobster instead.
