Yield: 3 to 4

Adapted from: Saveur

A pungent garlic and olive oil aïoli both thickens and enriches this stew perfumed with saffron and white wine. Homemade aïoli thickens the broth in this satisfying Marseillaise stew made with halibut, shrimp, and white wine. This recipe first appeared in our March 2014 issue.

For the aïoli

  • 2tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1clove garlic, minced
  • 1egg yolk, at room temperature
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1cup olive oil

For the soup:

  • 2TBS olive oil
  • ½tsp fennel seeds
  • 1/8tsp cayenne
  • 1cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1leeks, white parts only, roughly chopped
  • 1onions, roughly chopped
  • 1plum tomatoes, quartered
  • 1bay leaf
  • 6oz dry white wine
  • 2cups seafood stock
  • 1cup water
  • ½lb skinless firm white fish, such as halibut or monk fish, pin bones removed
  • ½lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
  • ¼tsp saffron threads
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1TBS minced parsley
  • Toasted baguette, for serving


Make the aïoli:
Whisk lemon juice, garlic, egg yolk, and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until thick, 2–3 minutes; transfer to a blender. With the motor running, drizzle in oil until sauce is emulsified. Transfer aïoli to a bowl; set aside.

Make the soup:
Heat oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add fennel, cayenne, garlic, leeks, onions, tomatoes, and bay leaf; cook until soft, about 15 minutes. Add wine; simmer until reduced by half, 4–5 minutes. Add stock and 1 cup of water, boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until broth is slightly reduced, 12–15 minutes. Strain broth; return to saucepan over medium heat. Add fish, shrimp, saffron, salt, and pepper; cook until fish is firm, and shrimp are pink, 2–3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, divide fish and shrimp between 6 bowls.

Whisk ½ cup broth into aïoli; return to pan. Cook until slightly thick, 4–5 minutes, ladle over fish. Garnish with parsley; serve with toasted baguette.

Shrimp with Lobster Sauce

Shrimp with Lobster Sauce

Comments 0 Comment

Yield: 1 to 2

Adapted from: Sue & Gambo

New England style with a brown sauce. Surprise, there is no lobster in this. Once upon a time it was Lobster, but was replaced with shrimp to reduce cost. In New England the sauce is brown because of added soy or dark soy sauce. In the rest of the country it is usually a white sauce.

Shrimp & Marinade:

  • 1lb shrimp
  • 1egg + 1 egg white
  • 1pinch of salt
  • 1pinch white pepper
  • 3tsp corn starch
  • 1tsp sesame seed oil

Stir-Fry:

  • ¼lb ground pork
  • 4TBS vegetable oil, divided
  • 1tsp minced ginger
  • 1tsp minced garlic
  • ¼cup green onions
  • 1TBS black bean sauce

Slurry:

  • 2TBS water
  • 1TBS corn starch

Sauce:

  • 2cups water
  • 1TBS oyster sauce
  • 1tsp sugar
  • 1tsp soy sauce or dark soy sauce


Marinating the shrimp:

In a bowl add the shrimp, egg white, salt, 1 pinch white pepper, 3 tsp corn starch and 1 tsp sesame seed oil. Mix everything together well.

Premix Sauce:

To a small bowl, add oyster sauce, sugar, soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame seed oil, and 1 pinch of white pepper. Set it aside.

Slurry:

In another small bowl, whisk together 1 TBS of cornstarch and 2 TBS water. Set it aside.

Stir fry:

Add 2 TBS of oil and add the pork to the wok and cook on high heat until the pork is fully cooked all the way through. Set pork aside.

Next add 2 TBS of oil and add the shrimp to the wok and cook on high heat until the shrimp is cooked through.

Add minced garlic, minced ginger, black bean sauce, pork, water, and stir-fry for about a minute.

Add the premix sauce to the wok and bring to a boil.

To thicken the sauce, slowly add slurry to your stir-fry until it’s the desired consistency.

Add green onions to wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Optional:

Slowly pour in the beaten egg in a thin stream. When it starts to set, transfer the food to a warm serving dish.
