Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Fresno chiles, coarsely chopped or 2 jalapenos
6 garlic cloves, smashed
1/8 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
4 Tbsp. vegetable or grapeseed oil, divided
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled, deveined
2 cups basil leaves (about 1 bunch)
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

1. Blend chiles, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, 3 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. salt in a blender until smooth. Transfer marinade to a medium bowl and add shrimp; toss to coat. Let sit 10 minutes. 2. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Just when oil begins to smoke and working in batches if needed, add shrimp, leaving marinade behind, and cook, turning once, until lightly charred around the edges, about 1 minute per side. Remove pan from heat. Add basil and toss vigorously until basil is wilted. 3. Transfer shrimp mixture to a platter. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
