DJ Shrimp Deluxe Mix – Extended Cut
————————————————-

What you need:
– 250g King Size Shrimp (peeled)
– 2 Long Turkish Peppers
– Couple of Cherry Tomatoes
– Fresh garlic
– Rosemary
– Black Bourbon Vanilla
– Salt, Pepper
– 1 small Chilli
– Olive Oil
– Aceto di Balsamico (Italian Balsamico Vinegar)
– 1 Orange
– Brown Sugar
– 1 big Baguette

First we prepare the vegetables:
Give 2 spoons of brown sugar into a pan and heat it slowly to make caramel. The neatly sliced peppers and 2 slices of the orange go into the sugar and heat it together softly. For the finale add the cherry tomatoes for a minute and add some salt and pepper on top.

Now the shrimp:
Put Olive oil into another pan and heat slowly (if it smokes you just went to high and need to start again, as it will taste badly). Just slice some garlic in 2 parts and put it in the oil. Add some Rosemary and the sliced Chilli. Now let this roast a bit, for 2 minutes so the oil takes everything in. Now add the shrimp and the vanilla. Roast under constant stirring and keep putting that oil over the shrimp. For the finally add some Orange juice (just squeeze that orange a bit).

Finally how to serve:
Slice the baguette and toast it. Put it on a plate and add the shrimp on top of it (leave the rest, the shrimp took the flavour of the stuff you added, but that stuff is not for eating!) and add the caramel vegetables. Now spray some Balsamico over it.

Now this is bloody good, trust me on that…

Country-Style French Pâté

Ingredients

• 1 stale demi loaf (sliced) or 2 cups of breadcrumbs
• 1 cup of fat-free half & half
• 5 chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup of goat cheese
• 1/2 cup of shallots, chopped
• 1/2 cup of curly parsley, chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup of sunflower or canola oil
• Herbes de Provence
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Use a little of the oil to grease the inside of a loaf pan.
2. Place the bread or breadcrumbs into a bowl. Pour the half & half all over it and allow it to soak.
3. In a baking dish or pan, place the chicken breasts in and sprinkle salt and the Herbes de Provence. Douse the chicken/herbs with the oil.
4. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
5. Remove chicken from oven and slice up into small pieces. Place it into the bowl with the bread/half & half mixture.
6. Add in the three eggs.
7. Place the total mixture into a meat grinder or food processor. Grind or process until it’s a rough mush.
8. Add in the shallots, garlic, curly parsley, and goat cheese, mix well.
9. Place the final mixture into a loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes.
10. Remove the pan when a golden crust forms. Allow the pâté to cool before serving.

Quick Notes

Herbes de Provence is just a blend of herbs known to the Provence region (marjoram, thyme, savory, basil, rosemary, sage and fennel seeds). You can find it in most grocery stores.

I would not use Olive Oil in this recipe. I know it’s tempting to reach for it, but the Mediterranean flavor of the oil will clash with the other flavors in this dish. Try to stay with sunflower, canola, or vegetable oil.

Be sure to use stale bread in creating this dish. Fresh will just not bring you the results you want. If you do not have a meat grinder, then I’d suggest using bread crumbs.

If you use a food processor, I’d suggest grinding up the mixture in quarters. Dumping it all in only makes a big mess and you want to get a rough mush as opposed to a fine purée.

Variations

I personally liked to stay with chicken breasts and low-fat ingredients, but you’re free to use anything you like. Use full-fat half & half, dark meat chicken, duck, goose, or the livers of chicken, geese, or beef.

Serving Suggestions

You could serve slices on top of a mixed green salad with a vinegrette on the side. Make a sandwich with a nice crunchy baguette, or even on its own.
