Gianna,
her restaurant in New Orleans, she’s acknowledged for her significant expectations when it arrives to sourcing as nicely as the way she understands and brings together these immaculate ingredients.
This delightful sauté, her remaining Slow Foods Rapid recipe, commences with a area catch. “I like Gulf shrimp and I like to emphasize our seafood,” Ms. Wilcomb mentioned. She matches the shrimp with cauliflower, highlighting the sweetness and subtlety of both. Initially she roasts the cauliflower in the oven to coax out its organic sugars. Then she sautés the cauliflower and shrimp jointly, with some chopped almonds for crunch. A compound butter flavored with rosemary, capers, garlic and lemon zest cloaks the other ingredients in a savory, aromatic glaze.
That butter freezes nicely, Ms. Wilcomb reported, so contemplate trying to keep a batch on hand to punch up other seafoods, steak and poultry. Below, it complements devoid of overpowering the shrimp, which is the correct star of this recipe. Buy the freshest you can locate and stay clear of overcrowding the pan when cooking it, Ms. Wilcomb warned, as that lowers the temperature and helps prevent suitable searing. Continue to keep an eye on the clock, also. “Overcooking your shrimp is a huge no-no,” the chef explained. It only can take a several minutes to get the right tender texture. Indeed, the complete dish arrives collectively immediately, as effortless and sophisticated as it is comforting.
