Ingredients:

Serving

1 pint vegetable broth
1 -1 1/2 lb shrimp (21-30 size)
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded , and cut brunoise
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, stem and seeds removed and cut brunoise
1 small red onion , cut brunoise
2 tomatillos , cut brunoise
1/2 of a honeydew melon , seeds removed , fruit cut from rind and then brunoise
1/2 of a cantaloupe , seeds removed , fruit cut from rind and then brunoise
1 lemon , juice of
2 tbsp chopped chives
salt and pepper

Directions:

First make a court bouillon-poaching liquid for the shrimp. Bring broth to a boil in saucepan over medium heat. Poach shrimp in shells until just pink, 2-3 minutes. and use a slotted spoon to remove to platter to cool. Strain and reserve court bouillon and let cool. You'll add it to the gazpacho later.
While shrimp are cooling, in a large bowl fold together cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, onion, tomatillos, melons and juice of one lemon. Add 1 tablespoon of the chives and the cooled court bouillon; stir to combine.
Peel shrimp and dice small, reserving 6 shrimp to be halved lengthwise for garnish. Stir diced shrimp into fruit /vegtable mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill well.
If you use this as an hors d;oeurve, serve in small bowls to 18-24 guests.
If you use this as an appetizer, serve in soup bowls to 6 guests. Irvine suggests arranging 2 shrimp halves on surface of each appetizer serving, tails to center, and sprinkling with remaining chives to garnish.
