		Potatoes with Marinated Shrimp

Ingredients

	4 large baking potatoes
	12 oz peeled, deveined, and cooked shrimp
	2 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
	2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
	2 tsp dried basil
	1/4 tsp salt
	1 garlic clove, minced

Scrub the potatoes and pat dry. With a fork, pierce each potato in 3 or 4 places. Arrange the potatoes in the microwave on a paper towel.

Microwave on high for 10 minutes, turning potatoes after the first 4 to 5 minutes. Cook until tender. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the shrimp in a medium bowl. Add the oil, lemon juice, basil, and salt. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. If desired, mince a clove of garlic and add to the shrimp mixture.

Cut the potatoes lengthwise down the center and squeeze to open. Spoon the shrimp mixture over the top.
