Sometimes, a dish shines because of its simplicity. The flavours are elegant, and the dish is subtle. This is one of these extremely simple and lovely dishes.
I splurged and used the massive jumbo prawns for this dish. The prawns were marinated in the simple dressing for 3 hours, permeating the meat's flavours. The cooking time was about 3 minutes a side, and the prawns were served immediately. I loved the subtlety, and I loved how these impressed the guests. These are perfect for any meal/
Some cookbooks make me happy when I cook from them. The flavours and dishes are unique. I waited a long time before buying this book and regretted that decision. This is a beautiful book; the recipes are unique in how this genius chef combines flavours and dishes. All the recipes pop with flavours, beautifully laid out dishes, and excellent food. This restaurant is on my bucket list the next time I visit Venice, California.
