Poached Shrimp With Vin Blanc, Roma Tomatoes With Thyme

Type: Shellfish
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 2 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 tablespoon 15mlFlour
1 tablespoon 15mlUnsalted butter - softened
3/4 cup 177mlDry white wine
3/4 cup 177mlWater
1 tablespoon 15mlChopped shallots
1   Bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
1   White pepper
10   Tail-on shrimp - peeled and deveined (large)
2 tablespoons 30mlItalian Roma tomatoes - diced
1 1/2 teaspoons 7.5mlPacked fresh thyme leaves
2   Thyme sprigs

Recipe Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the flour and butter. Using a fork, work it into a paste. (This paste is called beurre manie.) At this point you can refrigerate it until needed.

In a small saucepan combine wine, water, shallots, and bay leaf. Season with salt and a generous pinch of white pepper. Bring this mixture to a boil. Add the shrimp and stir. Allow the liquid to come back to a boil. As soon as the shrimp turn pink, remove them from the liquid and place on a warm plate.

Bring the poaching liquid back to a rolling boil. While whisking the hot liquid, add 1/2 of the beurre manie. As the beurre manie melts, the liquid will thicken. (If you want a thicker sauce, add more.) Turn down the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the tomatoes and fresh thyme. Adjust the seasonings and ladle the sauce over the shrimp. The shrimp should be nicely mounded on a warm service plate. Garnish with thyme sprigs.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
