servings: approx. 6 1- 1 1/2 cup servings

Cools note: If you have fresh basil available it is so much better than dried. If using fresh basil, I persoally use about half cup chopped. Use to your taste.
And also, any vegetable you like can go in this sauce, I tend to use up vegetables on hand before shopping. I have even used cabbage or bok choy and everyone loved it.

Also you can substitute chicken for shrimp, or just go meatless. This really is versatile.

    My husband isn't very adventourus with vegetables so I used an Italian frozen veg blend I had on hand. It was delicious, and he didn't even pick out the broccoli. - 2/23/13
