Chopping Basil for Shrimp Sausage Recipe

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Karl James owner of Creolesoul Catering located in Round Rock, Tx on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you a creole shrimp sausage recipe. Let's move on to our next herb here which is going to be the fresh basil and were just going to roll those leaves up together and run our knife across called a shiftenoid. I'm just going to make some small slices of fresh basil once again with the herbs and this being the basil if all you had is dry feel free to use it. And I keep saying that with different herbs if you want to use dry go right ahead but my recommendation to you would be to take the time get the fresh herbs and use those. Cause even though with the dry you'll get that basic flavor but it's nothing like using the fresh herbs and if we had smellivision you can smell this basil here. I don't care how much dry basil you use you'll never get this aroma okay, so here's our fresh basil all chopped and ready to be put to the side and wait for it's next appearance in the recipe let's move on."
