Time P11D

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups grappa or 2 1/2 cups unflavored vodka
2 cups whole milk
2 cups sugar
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, grated (preferably 70%)
1/2 lemon, seeded and chopped, with rind

Steps:

Pour the grappa and milk into an impeccably clean half-gallon glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Scoop in the sugar, chocolate, and lemon. Cover the jar tightly and shake well to help the sugar begin to dissolve. It will look curdled; that's as it should be, and it's perfectly safe. Set aside in a cool, dark place and shake or stir with a clean spoon every day for 10 days.
Set a cheesecloth-lined colander over a bowl and pour in the mixture. When the mixture has finished draining, squeeze the cloth to release as much of the liquid as possible, and discard the solids.
Line a sieve with a paper coffee filter. Pour in the liqueur and let the mixture drip through the clean bowl-this can take up to 24 hours. Change the filter when it becomes clogged with the residue from the liqueur.
Pour the liqueur into a decanter with a tight-fitting top. It will keep at room temperature for up to six months.

***If you are using fresh shrimp be sure to rinse and clean the shrimp before cooking making sure that the shell is still intact.
Cover shrimp with water and follow remaining instructions for cooking.
Add remaining ingredients.
On high heat, place a lid on the top of the pot.
Allow for block of ice/shrimp to thaw completely.
Once the shrimp are loose, stir to mix all ingredients well.
Place heat at a low temperature as to simmer the shrimp for 2 hours.
This ensures that all the flavors blend well otherwise you may eat them immediately.

You can eat them cold or warm them back up in original broth for the next day.
Enjoy.
