Instead of serving cold shrimp with cocktail sauce, prepare this simple basil sauce and top it with tender cooked shrimp. It's a fun and fancy appetizer. —Ken Hulme, Prescott, Arizona

Ingredients:
• 1 medium ripe mango or 2 medium peaches, peeled and sliced
• 2 to 4 tablespoons minced fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 12 cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Basil sprigs, optional

Directions:
1. In a blender or food processor, combine the mango, basil and lemon juice; cover and process until blended. Pour onto two serving plates; set aside.

2. Skewer two shrimp each onto six 4- to 6-in. metal or soaked wooden skewers, forming a heart shape. Cook in a large skillet in butter over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once. Place over mango sauce. Garnish with basil springs if desired.
