#HotSummerEats: Blueberry-Pickled Shrimp #Sponsor

By
On this third day of Hot Summer Eats, I wanted to create an appetizer using NOT Ketchup's Blueberry White Pepper. I've been really enamored with pickled shrimp recently.


Ingredients
  • 1 T peppercorns (I used a mixture of black and green)
  • 2 t coriander seeds
  • 1/2 C vinegar (I used a pineapple vinegar)
  • 1/4 C water
  • 1/2 t fleur de sel
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 C freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 T tequila
  • 1 T NOT Ketchup's Blueberry White Pepper Fruit Ketchup*
  • 1 t olive oil
  • 1 pound large shrimp with tails on, blanched just till opaque
  • 1/2 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 C fresh blueberries

 Procedure
In a small saucepan, toast the seeds and pepercorns until fragrant, approximately 60 seconds. Add vinegar, water, salt, star anise, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour in the tequila, ketchup, lemon juice, and olive oil. Let come to room temperature.


Pack the shrimp, fennel, blueberries, and leaves into a lidded jar.Pour the pickling liquid over the shrimp. Fill up with cool water, if there's still space in the jar. Close up and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Serve chilled on a bed of lettuce.

    I've never tried pickled shrimp either - this is going on the must-make list!

    This is the second recipe I've seen this week for picked shrimp. Just read one last night in F&W.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
