Jacques Pepin Family-Style Shrimp

"Buy the large (26-30 per pound) or the jumbo (12-16 per pound) shrimp for this recipe. Jaques indicates this recipe serves 4 as a first course. I double it and use it as our meal with crusty french bread and maybe a leafy green salad."

directions

  • Rinse the shrimp before cooking.
  • Put all the court bouillon ingredients into a large stainless-steel saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, at a gentle boil.
  • Add the shriimp all at once, stir to mix them into the broth, and bring it back to a boil over high heat. Cove the pan and cook for only 10 seconds, then remove from the heat. Let the shrimp cool in the covered pan of broth to lukewarm.
  • To serve family-style, turn both the shrimp and court bouillon, while still warm, into a large seving bowl. Into the meled butter stir fresh lemon juice, cracked black pepper, and pinches of salt, to taste. Provide everyone with a bowl for shrimp shells and a nearby ramekin of flavored butter.

  1. Letting the shrimp sit in the lukewarm broth made the shrimp very, very tough. Terrible recipe!
