Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the fennel and saute for 5 minutes, until tender but not browned. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook at a very low sizzle for 2 to 3 minutes, until the garlic just begins to color.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, add them to the pan, and toss together with the fennel and olive oil. Spread the shrimp in one layer and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes on one side. Turn the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on the other side, until they¿re pink and just cooked through.
- Off the heat, sprinkle with the parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped fennel fronds, the Pernod (if using), the fleur de sel, and black pepper and serve it with bread to soak up all the pan juices.
TANGY-SWEET SHRIMP SAUCE
Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and vinegar. Whisk in the shrimp sauce, blending well. Add the fish sauce, sugar, and water and whisk to dissolve the sugar. Taste and adjust as needed to arrive at a pleasantly tangy, sweet, salty, pungent sauce. A little more lime (up to 1 tablespoon) will tame the pungency and sweetness. If the overall flavors are too intense, add water by the teaspoonful. If you like shrimp sauce, whisk in more. When you are satisfied with the balance, add the chiles and set aside for 30 minutes to let the flavors develop before serving.
- Put the sauce on the table so that diners can serve themselves, or divide among individual dipping sauce bowls. It may be prepared 2 to 3 hours in advance and left at room temperature until serving.
Tips:
- Select the Freshest Seafood: Opt for plump and firm shrimp with a briny aroma. Fresh fennel bulbs should have crisp, unblemished layers.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Finely slice the fennel and thinly slice the scallions. Mince the garlic for maximum flavor infusion.
- Create a Citrusy Marinade: Combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. This zesty marinade enhances the seafood and vegetables.
- Marinate the Shrimp and Fennel: Allow the shrimp and fennel to soak in the marinade for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
- Cook the Shrimp and Fennel: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp until cooked through, then remove them from the pan. Sauté the fennel in the same skillet until tender-crisp.
- Prepare the Tangy Citrus Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the remaining marinade, orange marmalade, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly, concentrating the flavors.
- Combine and Serve: Return the shrimp to the skillet with the fennel and pour the tangy citrus sauce over them. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately, while the dish is hot and aromatic.
Conclusion:
This delectable shrimp and fennel dish tantalizes the taste buds with its harmonious blend of flavors. The tangy citrus sauce, featuring the vibrant flavors of lemon, orange, and a hint of sweetness from the marmalade, perfectly complements the succulent shrimp and crisp-tender fennel. This dish is not only easy to prepare but also offers a delightful culinary experience that will impress your dinner guests.
