EQUIPMENT
Small bowl,
10: " skillet,
Directions:
Santa Barbara shrimp, found in the Pacific Ocean, are most prized for
their taste and their size. They are usually sold with head and tail
intact. However, Gulf shrimp make a good substitute.
1. Remove the heads of the shrimp and peel the shell, leaving the tail
intact. Season lightly with salt and pepper and set aside.
2. Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes,
shallots, garlic, basil, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the vinegar, lime juice, and 1/2 cup olive oil, and mix well.
3. Heat a 10" skillet and pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive
oil. Over medium-high heat, cook the shrimp, in batches, if
necessary, about 1-1/2 minutes per side. Do not crowd the pan. Do not
overcook -- well-done shrimp will become dry.
Presentation: Spoon vinaigrette into the center of each of 4 plates.
Arrange 4 shrimp on the vinaigrette and garnish with basil sprigs.
Serve immediately.
To prepare ahead: Through step 2, but season the shrimp when ready to
serve.
