ARNAUD'S SHRIMP RéMOULADE

Steps:

• Prepare the shrimp first and then store them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow them to cool down thoroughly.
• Chop the vegetables as fine as you can. Use your food processor for this. Using a bowl that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients add the vinegar, mustard, olive oil, and paprika. Mix these together thoroughly. Add the salt and pepper and the msg if you wish. Add the chopped vegetables and stir until well-blended. The flavor should be sharp, but not overpowering. After all are well-mixed it should be stored in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for several hours.
• About two hours before serving mix the shrimp with the sauce and return to the refrigerator.
• Serve on a bed of chopped watercress or good quality lettuce.

• Whisk together the mustard, paprika, cayenne and 11/2 teaspoons salt in a deep bowl. Beat in the vinegar. Whisking constantly, pour in the oil in a slow, thin stream and beat until smooth and thick. Add the scallions, celery and parsley and mix well. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 4 hours.
• Shell and devein the shrimp. Rinse them under cold water. Bring 2 quarts of water to a simmer in a large pot. Add the remaining salt. Drop in the shrimp and cook, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes, until pink and firm. Drain, let cool, then chill until ready to serve.
• Mound the shredded lettuce on individual chilled plates. Arrange the shrimp on top, spoon some of the sauce over them -- reserving the rest for another use -- and serve immediately.
