SHRIMP IN CRAZY WATER

Steps:

• 1. Peel the shrimp and add the shells to 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Simmer for 20 minutes. 2. In a deep pot, preheated over medium heat, add the oil, leek, garlic, hot pepper flakes, half of the parsley and fennel. Cook over medium heat until the veggies soften and develop some color. 3. Add the wine and let it reduce for 1 minute. 4. Add the canned tomatoes, shrimp water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and let it cook for about 15 minutes. 5. Add the shrimp and continue cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp are fully cooked through. 6. Turn the heat off, sprinkle over the remaining parsley and dig in immediately with large chunks of bread to soak up all those lovely juices!

SHRIMP IN CRAZY WATER

Steps:

• In a 6-qt soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat until smoking. Add the onion, garlic, chilies and diced fennel and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the tomatoes, wine and water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer until they are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. To serve, pour into a soup tureen and garnish with the fennel fronds.

SEA BREAM IN CRAZY WATER (ORATA ALL'ACQUA PAZZA)

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large, lidded frying pan. Carefully slip the fish into the sizzling oil and cook for 4-5 mins until starting to brown. Flip over and scatter the garlic around the fish. Sizzle for 1 min more, then add the chilli and scatter over the tomatoes. Pour over the wine and let it bubble for 1 min, then pour over 100ml water and season generously with sea salt and pepper.
• Put on the lid, turn up the heat and simmer for 15 mins until the fish is cooked through - you can tell when the eyes turn bright white and the flesh feels softer.
• Lift each fish out the pan onto a serving plate and put the pan back on the heat. Add the capers and parsley, and boil hard for 1 min. You can now serve the fish and the sauce separately or slip them back into the pan, spoon some of the sauce over and bring the pan to the table. Drizzle with a little more oil just before serving.
