Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the potato inside to bake for 1 hour.
- Though these shrimp are served in the shell, run a small, sharp knife down the length of the shrimp to devein them. In a large saucepan, combine the water, lemon, parsley, peppercorns, bay leaves, salt, and hot sauce. Stir to blend and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and allow the liquid to cool for a few minutes. Add the shrimp and allow them to sit in the liquid, off the heat, until they are cooked in the middle, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and drain them on a kitchen towel. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When the potato is tender (check by piercing with the tip of a knife), shut the oven off, remove the potato, and place it on a flat surface. Sprinkle the curry powder in a thin layer in an oven proof skillet and toast it in the oven (with the door open) until you smell the aroma of the curry, 2 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool. Split the potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. Transfer the flesh to a blender and add the warm water, egg yolks, mustard, and lemon juice. Pulse to blend. Add the curry powder and a splash of vinegar, if desired. With the blender running, pour a steady stream of the olive oil through the top, start with 1/2 cup and then taste. If needed, add more olive oil. Serve the sauce in a bowl on the side with the shrimp.
GRILLED POMPANO AND SHRIMP WITH LEMON, OLIVES, AND BAY LEAVES
Steps:
- Prepare grill. Soak skewers in warm water 30 minutes.
- With a sharp knife slit skin of pompano along center of each piece to keep skin from curling when grilling. Shell shrimp, leaving tail and connecting shell segment intact, and thread 4 shrimp onto each skewer. Brush shrimp and pompano all over with additional olive oil.
- With a sharp knife cut ends from lemons. Standing each lemon on a cut side, cut rind and pith from lemon, exposing flesh. Cut lemon segments free from membranes. Discard coarse stems from spinach. Flatten olives, a few at a time, with flat side of a large heavy knife to loosen pit from flesh and discard pits. In a small saucepan stir together olives, extra-virgin olive oil, bay leaves, and a pinch salt.
- Season shrimp and pompano with salt and pepper and grill on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, grill seafood in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer seafood with tongs to a platter and keep warm, covered. Heat olive mixture over low heat until warm.
- In a 12-inch skillet heat remaining tablespoon olive oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté spinach, stirring and turning it with tongs, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season spinach with salt and pepper.
- Serve seafood over spinach, topped with lemon segments and olive mixture.
GRILLED SHRIMP WITH LEMON AIOLI
You'll notice a glaring lack of ingredients in this recipe. Thanks to the intensely flavored cured lemons, the aioli sauce needs little more than some fresh tarragon to reach its full potential. Having said that, you are well within your rights to toss in some garlic or hot pepper if you're in the mood.

I keep my marinades heart-healthy by choosing monounsaturated oils such as olive oil, and use lower-calorie spice- or citrus-based marinades, sauces and rubs to add flavor. -Amber Massey, Fort Worth, Texas

GRILLED SHRIMP AND BACON WITH LEMONS
Everything in this dish is grilled-even the lemon slices, which you can treat as a garnish or nibble on with the shrimp. Grilling the shrimp in their shells helps retain flavor and avoids overcooking this luscious dinner. Another tip: Relegate the bacon to the cooler areas of the grill, since the flames will flare up as the fat drips.

A cold shrimp-cocktail recipe from Cooking Light. It's tasty enough that it doesn't need a sauce. But you can serve with cocktail sauce to stay low-fat, or a remoulade or other mayo-based sauce if you don't mind the extra calories. Time to cook doesn't include chilling time.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Fish: Select fresh pompano fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet flavor. You can also substitute other firm-fleshed fish like trout, sea bass, or snapper.
- Prepare the Marinade: The marinade is essential for infusing flavor into the fish and shrimp. Make sure to use a combination of acidic (lemon juice), aromatic (oregano, thyme), and savory (garlic, salt, pepper) ingredients.
- Don't Overcook the Fish: Pompano and shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked fish will become tough and dry.
- Grill at the Right Temperature: Maintain a medium-high heat on your grill to ensure the fish and shrimp cook evenly without burning.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Opt for ripe lemons, aromatic herbs, and flavorful olives.
