SAUTEED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Put the flour on a plate and season with a healthy amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to combine evenly. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour to coat all sides.
• Heat the butter and oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat until butter stops foaming and just starts to turn a light brown. Add the shrimp, and give it a toss, saute for 5 minutes until the shrimp is firm and there is a crispy coating on the outside. Remove the shrimp to a side plate and cover to keep warm.
• Put the pan back on the heat and add the garlic and shallots. Cook and stir for 1 minute until soft. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth, give it a stir and let it cook down for 1 minute to thicken slightly. Put the shrimp back in the pan and coat in the lemon sauce. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

SAUTEED GAMBERONI AND VEGETABLES WITH CORAL SAUCE

Steps:

• For the coral sauce: Peel the tails of the prawns while keeping the heads on. Heat some oil in a saute pan. Cook the shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add the gray shrimp to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Reserve with the prawns. Rinse and dry the cuttlefish fillets. Cut it in pieces. Puree the prawns with the gray shrimp, cuttlefish, preserved lemon, 1/4 cup of the lobster stock and the lemon juice. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and then add the Espelette. Check the consistency, and adjust it with the remaining 1/4 cup lobster stock. Puree until the sauce is homogenous, 5 minutes. Pass the sauce through a fine mesh strainer. Check the seasoning and the consistency. Reserve.
• For the gamberoni: Shell the tail of the prawns while keeping the heads on, and leaving the tail shell in place. Store in a cool place.
• For the vegetables: Peel the carrots, and cut into 8 pieces. Peel the fennel. Wash the zucchini, remove top and tail. Cut the asparagus lengthwise into 2-inch pieces. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the hard outer skin. Wash and dry. Peel the red onions and rhubarb. Cut all of the vegetables using a mandolin into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• Clean the scallions, removing their outer skin. Thinly slice. Cut each of the tomatoes into 3 petals.
• Remove the larger leaves of the lettuce. Cut the heart into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Reserve all of the vegetables.
• Cooking the gamberoni: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a saute pan. Sear the prawns on each side, coloring them slightly. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on their thickness. Drain and keep warm.
• Cooking the vegetables: In a saute pan, heat a dash of olive oil. Add the carrots and sweat for 1 minute, then wet with a little bit of broth. Cover and cook. Add the fennel. Cook for 1 minute. Add the onions and asparagus. Cook for another minute. Add the spring onions and rhubarb. Cook for 1 minute, covered, over low heat. Eventually add a little bit of broth while the vegetables cook. Keep covered.
• Uncover and add the arugula and the fava beans. All the vegetables must remain crisp. Adjust the seasoning. Add the tomato petals. Mix gently.
• Finishing touches and presentation: Season the lettuce slices with a touch of olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Place in the bottom of the plates. Place the shrimp on top. Then place the vegetables. Finish with large drops of the coral sauce.

GAMBERI IN PADELLA (GARLICKY PAN-ROASTED SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Remove the dark intestinal veins from the shrimp. As you do, make each cut deep enough to butterfly the shrimp, so each can be opened flat like a book. Fill a bowl with ice water, add the sea salt and the butterflied shrimp, and let stand for 15 minutes to bring out some of the briny flavor of the shellfish. (Removing their shells robs the shrimp of some of their natural flavor.) Drain and dry thoroughly with a cotton kitchen towel.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and hot pepper and sauté gently until the garlic softens but is not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, placing them opened flat on the bottom of the pan so they do not curl too much. Sauté, turning once, until they are opaque, about 2 minutes on each side. Add the wine, stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds to allow alcohol to evaporate. Remove and discard the whole peppers, if using. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
