This didn't work for us the first time I tried it - didn't have lime leaves and used full amount of Italian basil leaves. But the recipe was promising, so checked with the author for advice (thanks, Amanda) and came back to try again. Used a bit of lime zest in place of lime leaves, and scaled the italian basil WAY down. The result was very tasty. I think a bit of hot chili flakes or a little sesame oil might make it even better, but as written, very nice. DianeReply
