Instructions:
Soak capers in three cups of water for two hours. Drain and then rinse capers in a sieve. Squeeze excess water out of capers with your hand. Peal the entire head of garlic and set aside.

Assemble Sauce:
In a Cusinart with the metal blade attachment add garlic and capers and pulse until coarsely chopped. (About 5 to10 seconds.) Add Basil Leaves, Parsley, Black Pepper, Salt, Olive Oil and Lemon Juice. Pulse until combined but still with flecks of the basil and Parsley noticeable. If too dry add more olive oil and/or lemon juice to taste.
Rinse shrimp and put into a large bowl and pour sauce over and stir to combine. Let marinate in the fridge for at least three hours. Remove from fridge at least twenty minutes before serving. Serve at room temperature.
