CHEF JOHN'S BEURRE BLANC
Although beurre blanc purists would object to the bit of cream in this classic sauce, it does help create a more stable base, enhances the flavor, and makes an even more beautiful color than when made without. Have all the ingredients measured and handy before starting as this sauce comes together rather quickly.

Steps:
- Place wine, lemon juice, cream, shallots, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and let simmer until liquid is reduced by about 75%, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and whisk in about 2 cubes of butter. Keep butter moving until it melts. When melted, add a few more cubes, whisking continuously so butter emulsifies into the wine/lemon juice mixture.
- Continue to add butter, a few cubes at a time until all of it has been incorporated and the sauce has a thick, luxurious texture, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste for seasonings and add a pinch of salt and cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan combine the reserved shrimp shells, the vermouth, the orange juice, and the zest and simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into another small saucepan, discarding the shells. In a non-stick skillet melt 1 piece of the butter, over moderately high heat, in it sauté the shrimp, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until they are cooked through, and keep them warm, covered.
- Bring the orange mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to moderately low, and whisk in the remaining 5 pieces butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting the skillet from the heat occasionally to cool the mixture and adding each new piece of butter before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce should not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of hollandaise.) Stir in the chives, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste, divide the shrimp between 2 plates, and spoon some of the sauce over each serving.
Tips:
- Use a good quality orange. The flavor of the orange is the star of this sauce, so make sure to use a variety that is sweet and juicy.
- Zest the orange before juicing it. This will help to release the orange's essential oils and give the sauce a more intense flavor.
- Reduce the orange juice by half before adding it to the sauce. This will concentrate the flavor of the orange and help to prevent the sauce from being too thin.
- Use unsalted butter for the sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming too salty.
- Add the butter to the sauce a little at a time, whisking constantly. This will help to prevent the butter from separating from the sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the sauce immediately over fish, chicken, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Spicy Orange Beurre Blanc is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, this sauce is sure to please.
