New Year's Eve Shrimp

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 12-12 Dec 2009

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup salted butter -- (do not substitute margarine)
4 garlic cloves -- finely minced
1 bunch green onions -- washed and chopped
2 pounds shrimp -- (31-35 count),
peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons dry white wine -- or more if needed
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 lemon -- juice of
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Salt -- to taste
Cooked angel hair pasta -- (for 6-8)

In a large skillet, sauté the garlic and all but 2 tablespoons of green
onions in melted butter until tender. Reduce the heat to medium and add the
shrimp, white wine and dill. Cook until the shrimp begin to turn light
pink, then add the lemon juice and the white pepper. Check and adjust the
salt and pepper of the dish and continue cooking until the shrimp reach
your level of desired doneness. Ideally the shrimp should be cooked only
until they are pink and tender. Warm the cooked pasta and spoon generous
amounts of the shrimp and sauce over each portion, garnish with the
reserved green onions.

Bobbie's Note: This was delicious! I served it with green beans on the
side. I cut the recipe in half, but used only 1/2 pound large shrimp for 2
of us (9 shrimp each) and it was just right.

Newport County-Style Thin and Lacy Johnnycakes

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 3 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 12-12 Dec 2009

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
vegetable oil cooking spray
1 1/2 cups cold 2% milk -- or water
1 cup finely ground white cornmeal -- preferably
whitecap flint cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter -- melted

Spray your largest cast-iron skillet with the oil and set it over medium-
low heat to preheat it.

Put the cold milk into a medium bowl; pour in the cornmeal and salt,
whisking vigorously. Add the butter. The butter will be suspiciously thin,
but don't worry.

Raise the heat under the skillet. You want that skillet good and hot,
enough so that the batter will sizzle when you drop it in. When it is
ready, drop the batter onto the skillet, using a tablespoon to make 3-inch-
wide johnnycakes or a teaspoon to make adorable petite ones, tilting
the skillet as needed to make them round. Each and every time you spoon up
batter, always stir or whisk it like the dickens, otherwise the cornmeal
will settle on the bottom. Please note: at first the cakes will look so
filled with holes that they will appear impossible to flip and you'll think
something's wrong. It isn't.

These cakes take a little longer to cook than usual - 4 to 5 minutes for
the first side. It's time to flip when all the little holes except those at
the edge have filled in, and the top is almost dry. Turn one cake, using
the thinnest spatula you own, if it holds together neatly and is nicely
golden brown, you're there. Allow 3 to 4 minutes for side two.

Serves 2 as an entree, 4 as an appetizer.

One Cake, Many Uses

Use Newport County-Style Thin and Lacy Johnnycakes as follows:

For Hors D'oeuvres (in small size):
- With low-fat sour cream or tofu sour cream and chives (optional sea eggs
for those who like it)
- With a spoonful of peeled, seeded, chopped tomatoes (preferably a mix of
red, yellow, and green assorted heirlooms, at high summer) with a little
shredded basil and a grinding of coarse salt.
- With a dab of not-too-oily basil pesto
- With a minced pitted kalamata olives, a small cube or crumble of feta
cheese, and a dill sprig.

With A Main Course (In Larger Size):
- Chili of any kind, or any spicy bean ragout.
- Corn chowder, particularly in a spicy one.
- Chilled red pepper soup or golden gazpacho.
- Large mesclun salad with avocado, fresh corn kernels, scallions, crumbled
goat cheese or tofu, fresh tomatoes, well-drained black-eyed peas, a
cilantro vinaigrette.
- [Favorite loin] or tempeh glazed with apple cider and maple syrup, with
steamed beans and baked winter squash.

For Dessert:
- With height-of-season, fresh, local strawberries and a drizzle of
lavender honey (this, to me, beats strawberry shortcake - no whipped cream
needed).
- With peach ice cream topped with raspberries and pureed fresh peaches.
- With bananas sautéed in butter and brown sugar, flamed with rum, served
with pineapple-coconut sorbet.
