Viewed: 72 - Published at: 2 years agoIngredients
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan
- 1 cup champagne vinegar
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- Kosher salt
- Cayenne pepper
- 20 large (16- to 20-count) shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 12 ounces mixed greens (about 8 cups)
- 1/2 cup peeled, diced fresh tomatoes
- 2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
- 4 large white mushroom caps, thinly sliced
- House Dressing (page 245)
- 2 tablespoons snipped chives, for garnish
Method
- Arrange an oven rack 4 inches from the broiler heat source.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Generously butter a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar and shallots.
- Boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost completely evaporated and the shallots are glazed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and continue boiling until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter, a little at a time, until well incorporated.
- Season to taste with salt and cayenne.
- Meanwhile, butterfly the shrimp by cutting each in half along its vein, slicing all the way through the curved middle, but keeping the stubby ends connected.
- Open the butterflied shrimp (theyll resemble hearts) and arrange in the prepared pan in a single layer.
- Season with salt and cayenne, then splash a little water over the shrimp.
- Broil until the shrimp just become opaque, about 3 minutes.
- Divide the greens among serving dishes.
- Arrange the tomatoes and avocados over the greens, then scatter the mushrooms all around.
- Spoon the dressing all over.
- Arrange the shrimp around the center and spoon the beurre blanc over the shrimp.
- Garnish with chives.
- To keep shrimp moist and juicy while getting lightly browned in the broiler, I add a splash of water to the pan.
- Think of it as steam-broiling.
