SAUTEED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Put the flour on a plate and season with a healthy amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to combine evenly. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour to coat all sides.
- Heat the butter and oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat until butter stops foaming and just starts to turn a light brown. Add the shrimp, and give it a toss, saute for 5 minutes until the shrimp is firm and there is a crispy coating on the outside. Remove the shrimp to a side plate and cover to keep warm.
- Put the pan back on the heat and add the garlic and shallots. Cook and stir for 1 minute until soft. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth, give it a stir and let it cook down for 1 minute to thicken slightly. Put the shrimp back in the pan and coat in the lemon sauce. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
FRISEE WITH SAUTEED SHRIMP, MARINATED OLIVES, AND CAPERS
Oil-cured olives are very different from canned, and it's worth the extra effort to find them. There will be quite a few left over from this recipe; they should be served alongside the salad, with crusty French bread to soak up the oil marinade. The shrimp should be a substantial size: ask for "16-20" shrimp, meaning 16 to 20 shrimp to the pound.

Steps:
- In a glass, steel, or pottery bowl, combine the black olives, rosemary, lemon zest, and 1 cup olive oil. In another bowl, combine the green olives, peppercorns, star anise, thyme, and remaining 1 cup oil. Let the olives marinate, covered, for 6 hours to a week.
- Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil from the black olives, and saute shrimp over highest heat until just done, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Whisk together 1/4 cup oil from the black olives and the lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss frisee in this dressing; top with shrimp, some of the drained olives, and capers. Season to taste.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until soft but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp, parsley, oregano, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, about 2 minutes.
- Raise heat to medium-high, and add wine. Continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, with lemon wedges on the side.
SHRIMP BATHED IN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON
A simple but lavish bath of olive oil and lemon juice is the Italian way of showing off superfresh seafood. The key, according to Marcella Hazan, is that the dish should never see the inside of a refrigerator, which changes the texture of the seafood and the flavor of the olive oil. She calls for shrimp in this recipe, but the formula also works with squid, clams and meaty fish fillets.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, preferably not too deep, so you can watch the shrimp as they cook. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into a baking or serving dish, preferably a white one to show off the colors of the finished dish.
- Working in a few batches to prevent overcooking, boil the shrimp over high until just firm and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, removing them to a colander with a slotted spoon. When all the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to the olive oil-lemon bath and gently mix to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. The shrimp should be just covered with liquid; pour in more oil as needed. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, spooning some liquid over each serving.

Cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
- Arrange butter lettuce leaves on 8 plates. Top with shrimp, dividing equally. Drizzle with more marinade, if desired. Garnish with lemon rounds and fresh dill sprigs, if desired.
