MARK BITTMAN'S SHRIMP IN GREEN SAUCE



Mark Bittman's Shrimp In Green Sauce image

Green sauce means different things to different cooks, but I like the Iberian interpretation best. It draws its color from parsley and its impact from chilies, scallions, and, mostly, garlic. I find it difficult to use too much garlic here, and have never really reached the outer limit; my recipe calls for six cloves, but twice that amount is not unreasonable. Shrimp is the perfect candidate for this green sauce: it can withstand high heat, it gives off some juices while it cooks, and its pink hue is absolutely gorgeous when surrounded by the flecks of green. This dish won't take you much more than half an hour. And although it's a perfect week-night meal, divided into eight it makes an impressive starter for a dinner party.

This recipe is Fabulous. If you like garlic and spicy, this recipe is for you. "The Best Recipes in the World" by Mark Bittman is a great cookbook; he loves to keep it simple, so do I.

  • Serve immediately with rice or with a crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Note: I made this using only a 1/4 of olive oil (I try to cut down on calories where I can), 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp (for 2 people that was still a lot, so we had leftovers) and a lot more garlic, I used about 10 cloves couldn't help myself, there's no such thing as too much garlic! I used a dry white wine (Chardonnay) for the liquid. The best shrimp I ever had!
  • Also the author added if you want to make it Indian Style: substitute cilantro for the parsley and add 1 tablespoon of good curry powder.
