TARRAGON SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a large (8-inch-diameter × 5-inch-high) saucepan and add 8 cups of cold water, the Pernod, and 1 tablespoon salt. Turn the heat to medium high and cook the shrimp uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until just firm and pink. Drain in a colander.
• Place half the shrimp in a large bowl. Cut the rest of the shrimp sideways through the back with a sharp paring knife and add them to the bowl as well. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the celery, scallions, tarragon, and mayonnaise, and combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the flavors to meld.

• Heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
• Prepare stuffing: mix the basil, tarragon, onion, bread crumbs, 2 T. melted butter, 2 T. sour cream (I don't measure the sour cream too closely - add enough so the stuffing is fairly moist) and a pinch of salt.
• Split shrimp and put a scant teaspoon of stuffing in each.
• Lay in a single layer in the pan (that has oil, melted butter etc in it waiting for the shrimp!).
• Baste with the liquid in the pan.
• Enjoy!

SHRIMP, LEMON AND TARRAGON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a plate.
• Keep the broth simmering over low heat.
• Heat olive oil and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat until hot, but not smoking.
• Add onion and cook for about 4 minutes.
• Add wine, bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until nearly all of the wine has evaporated.
• Add rice and ladle 1 cup of summer broth into rice and cook, stirring, until it is nearly absorbed.
• Continue to add broth in 1/4 cup increments, stirring rice constantly.
• When you are down to the last 2 cups or so, add the broth in smaller increments until the rice is softened but still a bit al dente. (add or delete broth as needed). This step should take about 18 minutes.
• Stir in 1 Tblsp. lemon zest and 1 Tbslp. lemon juice. Taste and adjust with additional zest or juice as needed until the risotto attains a nice, bright flavor.
• Stir in the reserved shrimp, tarragon and remaining 2 Tbslp butter.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste & serve!

ROASTED ONION, CAPER, AND TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• In a baking pan roast the onions in the middle of a preheated 475°F. oven for 2 hours. While the onions are roasting, in a small saucepan melt the butter over low heat, whisk in the flour, and cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the cream and the wine in a stream, whisking, bring the mixture to a boil, whisking, and simmer it whisking, for 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the capers, the vinegar, the tarragon, the parsley, and the chives.
• Let the onions cool until they can be handled, discard the tough outer layers, the stems, the root ends, and the juices in the baking pan, and in a food processor purée the onions until they are smooth. Transfer the purée to a small saucepan, bring it to a boil, and boil it, stirring, until it is thickened and the excess liquid is evaporated. Stir in the purée into the cream sauce and stir in salt and pepper to taste. The sauce may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature.
