SHRIMP IN MAYONNAISE

Provided by Food Network

Yield 24 bites with about 1 cup/250 ml sauce

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 egg yolk, at room temperature
Pinch salt
2 teaspoons grainy Dijon mustard
About 1 cup/250 ml grapeseed, vegetable, canola, or peanut oil
Lemon juice, to taste
Pinch white pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying
24 shrimp, peeled, but with tail intact

Steps:

  • Whisk together the egg yolk, salt, mustard, and vinegar in a roomy bowl. To add the oil, start whisking the yolk mixture and let the oil fall from the spout, drop by drop, until you have achieved a thick, velvety mayonnaise. Taste it. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper until the balance is to your liking.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Fry the shrimp until just cooked through and still juicy. Arrange the shrimp on a platter with the mayonnaise in a dish alongside, for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will ensure that your dish is flavorful and delicious.
  • Poach the shrimp correctly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. To poach shrimp perfectly, bring a pot of water to a boil, add the shrimp, and then remove the pot from the heat. Let the shrimp sit in the hot water for 3-5 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Make sure the mayonnaise is cold. This will help to keep the shrimp from becoming oily.
  • Add your favorite seasonings to the mayonnaise. This could include things like lemon juice, dill, or garlic powder.
  • Garnish your shrimp in mayonnaise with fresh herbs or vegetables. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

Shrimp in mayonnaise is a classic dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender shrimp, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
