Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces fresh basil leaves (about 2 bunches)
10 ounces butter, softened (2 1/2 cubes)
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, plus additional (to garnish)
1 tablespoon grated romano cheese
1 lb pasta
1 lb medium shrimp, shelled

Steps:

  • Remove any large stems from basil and wash leaves. Shake off excess water and dry with paper towel. Place in food processor; with blade attachment process until finely chopped. Process in two batches if necessary to get a uniformly chopped basil. Remove from processor and reserve.
  • Place butter in small mixer bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip butter until pliable. Add garlic, salt, pepper, parmesan and Romano cheeses, and basil; mix until well incorporated. Basil butter can be used immediately or stored covered in refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
