Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
- 1/2 c. water
- 2 1/2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Large pinch of saffron threads
- kosher salt
- 1 lb. medium shrimp
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 2 small garlic cloves
- Freshly ground pepper
- 16 mildly hot Italian red cherry peppers.
- 1/2 c. fresh corn kernels
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 c. heavy cream
- 1/4 c. milk
- 3 tbsp. grated Manchego cheese
Instructions
- THE SAFFRON SHRIMP: In a large saucepan, combine the wine, water and olive oil. Crumble in the saffron, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp and simmer over moderate heat for 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a shallow baking dish and let cool. Simmer the cooking liquid until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 12 minutes; let cool slightly. Stir in the anchovies and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Pour the cooking liquid over the shrimp and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- MAKE THE STUFFED PEPPERS: Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Cut the tops off the cherry peppers and reserve; remove the seeds and membranes. Salt the insides of the peppers and turn upside down to drain for 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, boil the corn kernels in water until almost tender, about 3 minutes; drain. In a bowl, whisk the whole egg with the yolk and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk in the cream and milk, then whisk in the grated cheese.
- On a baking sheet, add a teaspoon of the corn to each pepper, then fill with the custard. Bake for 30 minutes, or until set. Serve warm with the shrimp.
- Serve With: Serve with Manchego cheese, green olives, Serrano ham and bread.
