I didn't want to bother with the fried basil so I sliced it up fresh and stirred it in at the end. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. It was SUPER YUMMY!

thanks for the great tips! how long should they stay in the brining solution?

Yummylicious!!! I just had my lunch and now I'm hungry again ... :-( Thank you so much for the tips! Is true that's the way to make seafood juicy yet springy and crunchy specially for prawns. My mom always said' " Khew". For me, it has to bounce when I accidently dropped the prawn on the floor. Just like fishballs, it has to be 'khew' LOL No bounce, No fishball ! hugs pixen OMG wonderful!!! Yummylicious!!! I just had my lunch and now I’m hungry again … :-(

Thanks for the tip on cooked shrimp. I like to use deep-fried Thai basil on my fish cake--never though about adding some salt on it though. Thanks, Jason--I might try it next time. However, I don't think basil has a bland taste like spinach. They have a different taste in my opinion. :) This dish looks so fresh and beautiful! Thanks for the tip on cooked shrimp.

Very nice textures, and a nice contrast in textures as well. The only thing I have to add is perhaps to salt the basil leaves AS SOON as they come out of the oil. I have deep fried a lot of basil in my time, and I find that a tiny bit of salt also brings out a subtle flavor from the basil. Otherwise, you run the risk of serving something that tastes like bland fried spinach. As usual the picture is gorgeous. I really need to learn about your settings, camera, etc. I would almost give up my chef knife to learn how to do that. ;) I love the idea of this plate.

How you got those basil leaves to look like that is just another awesome word in itself! Did anyone say it’s a mouthful of “explosion” that only the freshest shrimp can give you?
