Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 navel oranges
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp (32 total), shelled and deveined
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon minced and mashed garlic
For sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 tablespoons Cognac
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
a pinch of cayenne
3 firm-ripe California avocados
6 canned hearts of palm, drained, rinsed, patted dry, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Make shrimp
  • With a sharp knife cut a slice from top and bottom of each orange, exposing flesh, and arrange with a cut side down on a cutting board. Cutting from top to bottom, remove peel and pith. Working over a bowl, cut orange sections free from membranes, letting sections drop into bowl, and squeeze in excess juice from membranes.
  • Into a large saucepan of boiling salted water plunge shrimp and poach at a bare simmer just until firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain shrimp in a colander and transfer to a large bowl. While shrimp are still warm add oil, garlic, and 1 tablespoon juice from orange sections, stirring to coat shrimp. Let shrimp cool to room temperature.
  • Make sauce:
  • In a small bowl whisk together sauce ingredients until smooth. Sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Quarter avocados lengthwise, removing pit and peel, and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Transfer orange sections with a slotted spoon to shrimp mixture and add hearts of palm and avocado, folding ingredients together gently.
  • Divide salad among 4 plates, mounding it, and spoon sauce over salad.

This recipe is a waste of time. The shrimp were rubbery and the sauce was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp cocktail exotique turned out terrible. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was watery. I will not be making this recipe again.

The sauce was too runny. I think I'll add more cornstarch next time to thicken it up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp were overcooked. I think I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey next time. Otherwise, the shrimp are cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious.
