Category: Shrimp, Lobster, and Scallops
One spring, the Gruppo Ristoratori Italiani, an organization of Italian restaurateurs in the United States, asked me to join them and a group of other food writers on a trip to the Marche region of central Italy. We stayed at a hotel on the coast and planned to take trips to explore the surrounding towns. One night, stormy weather made traveling all but impossible, so we ate at a local restaurant called Tre Nodi. The owner was a little eccentric and lectured us on his theories about politics, food, and cooking, but the seafood was wonderful, especially the big red Mediterranean shrimp cooked with anchovies. The shrimp were split nearly in half, then opened flat so that they could be coated thoroughly with the sauce. When we left, the owner gave each of us a small container of sand from the local beach to remind us of our stay.
1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 cloves garlic (large), very finely chopped
6 anchovy fillets, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail sections intact. With a small knife, slit the shrimp lengthwise along the back, cutting almost all the way through to the other side. Remove the dark vein and open the shrimp flat like a book. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry.
2 Place a barbecue grill or broiler rack about 5 inches away from the heat source. Preheat the grill or broiler. In a large broiler-safe skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. When the butter foam subsides, add the parsley, garlic, and anchovies and cook, stirring 1 minute. Add the wine and lemon juice and cook 1 minute more.
3 Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the shrimp cut-sides down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the sauce over the shrimp.
4 Run the pan under the broiler and cook about 3 minutes or until the shrimp are just opaque. Serve immediately.
