Large, plump shrimp are marinated in a savory sauce of lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, olive oil, dried basil, and brown sugar, then grilled to highlight the flavors.
Yellow-red Mr. Stripey tomatoes give this ice a light hue. Use red or purple tomatoes if you want a darker granita, if you prefer. Mixing purple basil with deep-green Italian basil yields a nuanced flavor and a lovely garnish.
Lemon juice adds bright acidity and makes all the difference in such a simple dish. Garnish with a slice of lemon to enhance the citrus effect. Serve with Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad.
For Fourth of July or other patriotic parties, I want something that is “no fuss”. I don’t want to have to worry about slicing a cake, or whether my cupcakes are piped beautifully.
