"Trump calls for a boycott of CNN’s parent company, after trying to block their merger. He wanted to raise postal rates on Amazon because Bezos owns the Post. It's one thing to complain about the press. Using state power to censor them is another. In fact, it's unconstitutional."

Congressman Adam Schiff

Speaking about President Trump's call for a boycott of ATT for carrying CNN.

Recipe of the Week

Ingredients

1½ pounds jumbo shrimp (21/25 per pound), peeled, deveined and patted dry

1 cup lightly packed fresh basil

⅓ cup lightly packed fresh tarragon

3 medium garlic cloves

1½ teaspoons grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Kosher salt and ground black pepper

¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

01
Thread the shrimp onto eight 8- to 10-inch metal skewers, dividing them evenly; skewer each shrimp in a C shape, piercing through 2 points. Place the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large baking dish.

02
In a blender, combine the basil, tarragon, garlic, lemon zest and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pulse until chopped. Scrape down the sides, add the oil and puree until bright green and almost smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl.

03
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. For a charcoal grill, ignite a large chimney filled ¾ full of coals, let burn until lightly ashed over, then distribute the coals evenly over the grill bed; open the bottom grill vents and the lid vent. Heat the grill, covered, for 5 minutes, then clean and oil the cooking grate. For a gas grill, turn all burners to high and heat, covered, for 15 minutes, then clean and oil the cooking grate.


04
In another small bowl, stir together ½ cup of the herb puree, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, then slather onto the shrimp, coating both sides. Grill the skewers until the shrimp turn opaque and are lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the shrimp are just opaque, about another 2 to 3 minutes.

05
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Stir the lemon juice into the remaining herb puree and drizzle over the shrimp.

Tip: Don’t forget to pat the shrimp dry before coating them with the herb puree; too much moisture will prevent it from clinging to them.
