Ingredients:

Serving

1 quart vegetable oil
1 small rutabaga , about 3 1/2- inches in diameter
salt and white pepper
1/2 hass avocado, peeled and diced
1 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp white pepper

Directions:

Place 1-quart of vegetable oil in a 2-quart saucepan and set over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Peel the rutabaga and slice into one sixteenth of an inch thick rounds. You will need at least 12 rounds. Fry the rutabaga in the hot oil in batches, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes fry time. Remove the chips from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
To make the avocado mash, combine the avocado, sour cream, orange juice, cilantro, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper. Use a whisk to mash the avocado with the other ingredients until smooth. Set aside as you prepare the rest of the dish.
For the Sauteed Shrimp:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
Salt
1/2 pound 21-25's shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro leaves
1 recipe Tomato Oil, recipe follows
Set an 8-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and olive oil. Season the shrimp with the Essence and salt and add to the saute pan. Sear for 2 minutes on the first side and add the garlic to the pan. Turn the shrimp over and sear for another 1 minute. Add the orange juice and cilantro to the pan and cook until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and swirl the pan, off the heat, until the butter is melted.
To plate the dish, place a small dollop of the avocado mash in the center of 4 appetizer plates. Place a rutabaga chip on top of the mash, and divide the shrimp between the 4 chips, reserving 4 shrimp. Place another chip on top of the shrimp and spoon 2 tablespoons of avocado mash over each of the chips. Place another chip over the avocado mash and add a small dollop of the avocado mash on top of the last rutabaga chip. Place 1 of the remaining shrimp on top of the avocado mash. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and drizzle the tomato oil around the plate.

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
