SHRIMP PANE ON WATERCRESS
Steps:
- Cut off about 1 inch from the lower tail segment of each shrimp and put these tail pieces, along with the 4 smallest shrimp (total weight about 6 ounces) in the bowl of a food processor. Add the egg, garlic, salt, and pepper and process for about 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the parsley, and process for another 15 to 20 seconds, until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a bowl. (You should have about 1 cup.) Divide the remaining 16 shrimp into 4 portions. Arrange them on a tray so that each group of 4 shrimp is clustered together to form a flat patty. Coat the top surface of each patty with about 1½ tablespoons of the shrimp mousse. Sprinkle half the fresh bread crumbs over the mousse on the patties and press the crumbs gently into the mousse. Using a spatula, gently turn the patties over. Spread the remaining mousse over the patties and coat as before with the remaining bread crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook. At serving time, heat the canola oil and butter in a large skillet until hot. Carefully transfer the patties to the skillet and cook them gently for 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn carefully (they are delicate) and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Cover and set aside. FOR THE SALAD: Cut off the bottom 2 1/2 inches from the watercress stems (reserve, if you desire, in the refrigerator or freezer for use in soup). Wash the watercress well and dry it in a salad spinner. Combine the sherry vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the bowl in which you will toss the salad. Just before serving, add the watercress to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Divide the salad among four plates, place a shrimp patty on top of each, and serve.

Yield 4 large servings or 6 small servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Soak the farro in warm water for about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse well. Pour into a medium saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Add a pinch of salt and cook for about 30 minutes. The farro should be soft but have a slight chew to it. Drain to remove excess water, and then transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Set aside.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Toss the shrimp with 2 more tablespoons olive oil, some salt, pepper and the lime juice. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and broil for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool slightly.
- Make the salad dressing by combining the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the mint, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a small jar. Cover and shake to combine.
- Toss together the farro, beans and watercress in a large bowl with half of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. To plate, transfer the salad to a large platter and top with the shrimp. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.

Steps:
- Make the shrimp cakes: Add the shrimp to a food processor and pulse 4-5 times, until minced but not mushy.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shrimp, shallot, jalapeño, eggs, panko, chives, lemon zest, paprika, cayenne, a pinch of salt, the lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
- Using a 1-ounce (30-g) scoop, portion out the shrimp mixture and gently flatten into patties.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, in batches if necessary, for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145˚F (63˚C). Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season lightly with salt.
- Make the roasted red pepper sauce: Add the peppers, red wine vinegar, almonds, shallot, garlic, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds, until smooth. With the blender running, slowly stream in the olive oil to emulsify. Thin with the reserved red pepper liquid, if necessary.
- Assemble the salad: Add the arugula and watercress to a large bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil, the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well.
- Divide the salad between serving bowls and top with the shrimp cakes and roasted red pepper sauce.

Tips:

- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the shrimp from sticking and burning.
- Add the Watercress at the End: Watercress wilts quickly, so add it to the dish just before serving.
