WARM SHRIMP AND ENDIVE SALAD
Steps:
- Peel and seed tomato and cut into 1/4-inch dice. In a dry small heavy skillet toast sesame seeds over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes. Shell and devein shrimp.
- Trim top 1 1/4 inches from each endive and separate leaves, discarding small inner core. With a sharp knife cut away soft yellow edges of each leaf (save trimmings for another use), leaving only firm white centers, and cut centers lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
- In a small bowl whisk together vinaigrette and mustards. In a bowl combine endives, tomato, sesame seeds, soy sauce, lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons mustard vinaigrette, tossing to coat, and season with sea salt and white pepper.
- Season shrimp with sea salt and white pepper. In a large heavy nonstick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until just smoking. Add shrimp in one layer and sauté until undersides are golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn shrimp over and sauté until just cooked through, about 30 seconds.
- Divide shrimp among 4 plates, mounding them. Add 5 teaspoons sliced cilantro to endive mixture, tossing to mix, and mound mixture over shrimp. Garnish salads with remaining teaspoon cilantro.
AVOCADO, SHRIMP, AND ENDIVE SALAD
Steps:
- Bring 2 quarts water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan, then poach shrimp at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Let shrimp chill in water 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- Whisk together tarragon, mustard, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a serving bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
- Quarter avocados lengthwise, then pit, peel, and cut into bite-size pieces. Add shrimp, avocados, and endive to dressing and toss.
BELGIAN ENDIVE WITH GOLD COAST SHRIMP SALAD
Steps:
- To poach the shrimp, combine the water, carrot, celery, lemon, onion, bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon of the salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease the heat to low. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes to make a flavorful court-bouillon.
- Have ready a frozen freezer pack sealed in a heavy-duty plastic bag or a large heavy-duty sealable plastic bag filled with ice cubes. Make an ice bath to cool the shrimp: transfer several cups (or more, depending on the quantity of shrimp) of the broth to a large heatproof bowl. Place the ice pack in the bowl of broth; move the pack around until the broth is well chilled (drain and add more ice to the bag as needed). Return the heat to high and bring the remaining mixture to a rolling boil. Add the shrimp and boil until the shells are pink and the meat is white, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Drain the shrimp in a colander or remove with a slotted spoon, then immediately transfer to the chilled liquid to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- To prepare the endive, cut off and discard the root ends. Pull the heads apart one leaf at a time. Arrange the leaves in concentric circles like a flower on a large platter.
- To prepare the salad, peel, devein, and coarsely chop the shrimp. Place in a bowl with the chopped tarragon and mayonnaise; stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To assemble, place 1 generous teaspoon of shrimp salad near the trimmed bottom edge of each endive leaf. Garnish each with a tarragon leaf. Serve immediately.
- making ahead
- The shrimp salad can be prepared completely ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The leaves can be prepared and wrapped in damp paper towels in a sealable plastic bag overnight. Finally, up to 2 hours ahead, the filled endive leaves can be arranged on the platter, covered with a damp paper towel, and refrigerated. Serve chilled.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh shrimp, crisp endive, and flavorful herbs and spices.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a light touch when mixing the salad: You don't want to break up the shrimp or endive, so be gentle when mixing the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as it's made.
