Julie is a Realtor who lives in Nashville, TN. She was making her television debut on House Hunters so we decided to make a night of it. A few friends got together to watch her episode and enjoy a meal. And yes, she did find a house for the buyers, in case you were wondering. Here is the episode info:

Season 171, Episode 6, City Wife vs Suburban Husband https://www.hgtv.com/shows/house-hunters/episodes/city-wife-vs-suburban-husband)

Found this surprisingly sweet dish refreshing and we enjoyed it with Julie’s Green Chile Corn Cake.

Add the tomato, remaining salt, pepper, and apple juice. Cover the pan and simmer for 5 more minutes.

Turn off the heat then add the shrimp back in. Mixing to ensure all the shrimp are coated well.

As pictured: ladled the sweet basil mixture over 4 or 5 of Julie’s Green Chile Corn Cake, then add a little extra sauce.
