Cucumber Gazpacho With Shrimp And Melon Food

HONEYDEW MELON GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Roughly chop the melon and add to the bowl of a food processor, reserving some for garnish. Chop the cucumber and halve the grapes and add to the food processor. Top with the spinach, basil, scallions and serrano. Splash in the olive oil, champagne vinegar, lime juice and honey. Process until the ingredients are combined, about 1 minute. Add half the avocado and process again until the avocado has been completely incorporated, about 30 seconds. Season to taste with salt and pepper and thin with ice water if necessary to reach desired consistency.
• Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• To serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the diced honeydew, sliced avocado, and cilantro leaves. Serve with wedges of lime on the side.

CUCUMBER GAZPACHO WITH SHRIMP AND MELON

Steps:

• In blender or food processor, combine coarsely chopped cucumber, scallions, coarsely chopped herbs, ginger, garlic, olive oil, and yogurt and process until smooth, about 1 minute.

SHRIMP AND MELON GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. You will be using it as a court bouillon - a poaching liquid for the shrimp. The court bouillon is not actually part of the soup. Poach the shrimp in their shells until just pink and remove to a platter to cool. (Shrimp cooked in its shell retains more flavor).
• While the shrimp are cooling, combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, tomatillos, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon in a food processor and pulse to coarsely chop. Remove to a bowl and squeeze in the juice of the fresh lemon, being careful not to drop any remaining lemon seeds into the mix. Add the chopped chives, and stir to combine.
• Peel the shrimp and finely dice. Stir the shrimp into the fruit/vegetable mixture and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Chill well.
• In the episode, we served this gazpacho as an hors d'oeuvres in porcelain Chinese spoons. You can do the same or be creative by using your own choice of individual serving vessel such as sake cups, rice bowls or even 2 ounce ramekins with demitasse spoons. It can also be served as an appetizer in soup bowls.

CUCUMBER GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Peel the cucumbers, if you'd like. Slice lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Dice the cucumbers.
• In a high-powered blender or food processor, blend the cucumbers and 1/2 cup ice cold water. Add the remaining ingredients, slowly adding water to thin as desired. Taste and adjust as necessary.
• Transfer to bowls or cups. Top with non-dairy milk, sliced cucumbers, or fresh herbs. Enjoy immediately.
