Poached shrimp in a chilled tomato and orange

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 Shrimp; shelled
8 Ripe tomatoes; (blanched, peeled
; and seeded)
4 Oranges; (cleaned into
; segments)
8 teaspoons Chopped mint
1 bunch Fresh mint
½ cup Linqurian extra virgin olive oil
16 Tomato diamonds
Salt to taste

Directions

Blanch, peel and seed tomatoes. Cut 16 diamonds for garnish, set aside.

Also set aside 4 sprigs mints and 8 leaves. Peel and cut segments of 4 oranges and set aside 12 segments for garnish.

In a medium sauce pan, warm olive oil over moderate heat. Add remaining mint, tomatoes and remaining orange segments. Season lightly with salt, to taste. When warm, remove from heat and cool on Ice bath. (Note: the concept is to warm the mint, extracting its flavor, while allowing the flavor of both tomato and orange to remain uncooked). Remove mint and blend in high speed blender, strain and set aside.

In a small saute pan, warm the tomato diamonds, orange segments and julienned mint. Simmer shrimp in lightly salted water.

Place chilled tomato and orange sauce in bottom of a soup bowl. Place the tomato, orange and mint compote in the center. Arrange the 3 shrimps around the outside. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil and garnish with mint sprigs.

Yield: 4 servings.
