Marinated shaved fennel
  • 12 large shrimp, about 12 oz, peeled and deveined
  • 3 ounce goat cheese, at room temperature
  • 12 ounce large basil leaves
  • 6 ounce large slices prosciutto de parma (about 1 1/2 oz), cut in half horizontally

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Shrimp with goat cheese, basil and prosciutto:1. Put some goat cheese in the cavity of each shrimp.

Wrap each with a basil leaf to hold the goat cheese in place, making sure that the leaf slightly overlaps the end of the shrimp.

Wrap the entire shrimp with a piece of prosciutto.

2.

Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a heavy-bottomed nonstick pan.

Add the shrimp with the prosciutto's seam facing down, and cook, turning, until the prosciutto is fused around the shrimp and crispy all over, 3 to 4 minutes.

  3. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Repeat, adding more oil as necessary.

Marinated shaved fennel:1. Cut fennel bulbs in half lengthwise.

Slice very thin on a Japanese mandolin.

2.

Assemble marinade in a bowl, whisk to combine.

3.

Add fennel to the bowl and mix well with marinade.
