Prawn Gazpacho

"Pickled tiger prawns combined in a chunky garlic gazpacho. This is a great item for winery and concert picnics. It keeps well, travels well, and if you bring extra bowls and spoons, you’ll make lots of new friends. My original recipe was published by Bon Appetit in the April 1992 issue, then again in their 20-Minute Special Edition issue, and included again in the 1992 hardbound collector’s edition. The recipe was altered by the editors to be more like a traditional gazpacho, including the incorporation of four cups of tomato juice. But this is the original crunchy, fresh-from-the-garden, high garlic, many-prawns version. From "Fresh from Dover Canyon""

  • Season with salt and coarsely ground pepper.
  • To serve, ladle the gazpacho into small cups or bowls.
  • Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh cilantro.
  • Wine suggestion: A crisp, slightly acidic white with lots of fruit and delicate herbal notes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm co-owner of Dover Canyon Winery in Paso Robles, California. I've worked in the wine industry for 12 years, and I've taught classes in wine appreciation and wine pairing. Winemaker "Dover Dan" and I love good food and good wine, so we're always looking for light, fresh recipes. With our lifestyle, we're always trying to lose weight! We also entertain frequently--just casual barbecues for friends mostly, but we also grill for hundreds of visitors on wine festival weekend. We've compiled a collection of our favorite easy recipes in a winery cookbook, "Fresh from Dover Canyon." I hope you enjoy the recipes we've posted. Please feel free to email us any time with questions regarding food and wine!
