Sauteed Shrimp Cocktail

Sauteed Shrimp Cocktail

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled, tail left on, deveined
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard (I used HEB-Central Market)
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
1 teaspoon turmeric (no tumeric? use mustard powder instead with a pinch of paprika for color)
1/4 cup freshly chopped basil leaves

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and herbes de Provence. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes each side.

In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, maple syrup, turmeric, and basil until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Place the yogurt mixture in a dipping bowl.

Place the bowl of dipping sauce on a serving platter with the cooked shrimp.
