Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb Belgian endives (4 or 5)
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 oz large (21 to 25 per lb) shrimp in shell, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup heavy cream
Garnish: chopped fresh herbs

Steps:

  • Trim endives and quarter lengthwise. Cut out and discard cores, then cut endives diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Toss with sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat and add endive mixture, tossing to coat. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until endive is tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • While endive is cooking, toss shrimp with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice in a bowl.
  • When endive is tender, increase heat to moderate and cook, uncovered, stirring, until juices are evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in cream and simmer 1 minute.
  • Scatter shrimp over endive and cook, covered, over low heat, without stirring, until shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
