The licorice flavor of Pernod paired with shrimp is an unexpected combination, but one we found superlative. Some unique liqueurs such as Pernod are sold in small bottles; it's a convenient way to try unfamiliar varieties without investing in a large bottle. Ingredients:
1 cup dry white wine |
1/2 cup minced shallots |
2 tablespoons pernod (licorice-flavored liqueur) |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine |
2 tablespoons minced fresh or 2 teaspoons dried parsley |
1 tablespoon minced fresh or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
32 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
cooking spray |
1 cup minced seeded tomato |
8 (1-ounce) slices french bread, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine wine and shallots in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in the Pernod and the next 6 ingredients (Pernod through garlic).
2. Preheat broiler.
3. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a jellyroll pan coated with cooking spray, and pour the Pernod mixture over shrimp. Broil 5 minutes or until shrimp are done. Sprinkle shrimp with tomato, and serve with French bread.
