Chili Basil Shrimp

I’ve run out of food in my refrigerator! All I had was a measly bag of shrimp, some fish, and chicken, and some really bad vegetables. I went to my balcony and saw basil and researched some idea and found a simple enough recipe.

I would use this recipe again for other types of meat or maybe even fried tofu since it’s so simple.

Ingredients:

  • About 10 shrimps, deveined and shelled
  • 1 tsp of chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tsp of corn starch
  • 1 tsp of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of chicken broth
  • a couple of stalks of basil
