LAVENDER LEMON BARS
I'm totally addicted to using lavender as flavoring. If you think it sounds weird, may I suggest not knocking it like I did until you try it.

SHRIMP BATHED IN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON
A simple but lavish bath of olive oil and lemon juice is the Italian way of showing off superfresh seafood. The key, according to Marcella Hazan, is that the dish should never see the inside of a refrigerator, which changes the texture of the seafood and the flavor of the olive oil. She calls for shrimp in this recipe, but the formula also works with squid, clams and meaty fish fillets.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, preferably not too deep, so you can watch the shrimp as they cook. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into a baking or serving dish, preferably a white one to show off the colors of the finished dish.
- Working in a few batches to prevent overcooking, boil the shrimp over high until just firm and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, removing them to a colander with a slotted spoon. When all the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to the olive oil-lemon bath and gently mix to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. The shrimp should be just covered with liquid; pour in more oil as needed. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, spooning some liquid over each serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake the shrimp cups in a mini loaf pan or even a regular loaf pan.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
- You can adjust the amount of lemon and lavender to your taste.
- Garnish the shrimp cups with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Lemon lavender shrimp cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer party or potluck, and they can be made ahead of time, which makes them even more convenient. The combination of lemon and lavender is refreshing and unique, and the shrimp are cooked to perfection. These shrimp cups are sure to be a hit with your guests!
