Spicy Lemon Shrimp With Basil Mayonnaise image

A recipe from Betty Crocker : This lovely restaurant-style appetizer can be made ahead of time. The shrimp can marinate in the lemon mixture up to 3 hours in the refrigerator before broiling. Make the basil mayonnaise up to a day ahead, and store covered in the refrigerator.
