Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds extra-large (U-10) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 bunch each marjoram, oregano, thyme and parsley, roughly chopped
1 bunch each marjoram, oregano, thyme and parsley, roughly chopped
3 lemons, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil
3 heads cauliflower (1 purple, 1 Romanesco, 1 yellow)
1/2 cup honey
2 1/4 cups sparkling wine
One 4-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
1 pound kumquats, sliced into thirds
3 bunches watercress
1 bulb fennel, fronds only, chopped
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
4 tablespoons fennel pollen
Olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the herbs, lemon zest and juice, 1 tablespoon of the smoked paprika, some salt and pepper and enough canola oil to coat lightly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Thread the shrimp lengthwise onto soaked wooden skewers, straightening the shrimp as you go. Grill until the shrimp are grill-marked and opaque throughout, 3 minutes per side.
  • Cut the cauliflower into 1/2-inch-thick slices, making sure to cut through the main stem so the slices stay intact. Oil the slices generously, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon smoked paprika.
  • In a VERY HOT nonstick skillet, sear the cauliflower "steaks" in enough canola oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once each side is golden brown, transfer to a baking sheet and roast until al dente.
  • In a saucepan, combine the honey, sparkling wine and ginger and bring to a simmer. Add the kumquats and cook over low heat until jammy. Cool and reserve.
  • Clean the watercress and then toss with the fennel fronds, sherry vinegar, fennel pollen and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Plate all elements and serve immediately.
