Instructions
Fresh Kauai Grilled Shrimp
- 2 lbs fresh Kauai Shrimp, head-on, tail shell split & deveined
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 zest of 1 lemon
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 oz. sweet miso paste, diluted in 3oz water
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Combine all ingredients and marinate shrimp for at least 1 hour. Grill shrimp until just cooked through. Alternatively, sauté the shrimp.
Green curry sauce
- 1 sweet onion, julienned
- 1 tsp green curry paste
- 3 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup shrimp stock (preferred—may use water)
- 1 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 lb fresh basil
- Saute the julienned onions over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in Green Curry paste, about 2 minutes.
- Add coconut milk, stock, fish sauce and sugar. Bring to boil, then lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil and blanch the basil for 30 seconds. Submerge in ice water to shock it.
- Puree the blanched basil with the sauce and season to taste.
Fuji apple salad
- 1 grapefruit, peeled and segments reserved
- 2 fuji apples
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade (see below)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Peel grapefruit & cut out segments, removing any pith. Using a mandolin, cut the apple into match-sized cuts. Alternatively, cut into ¼" slabs then cut into matchsticks. Quickly mix the apples with the grapefruit segments to avoid apples turning brown (oxidation).
- Basil chiffonade—lay basil leaves on top of each other, then roll up and slice thinly into strips.
- Mix fruits and basil together and season with salt & pepper to taste.
