Shrimp Martini With Robuchon Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Place the potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the butter, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Place the potatoes back into the saucepan. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the half-and-half. Using a hand masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the zest, chives, parsley, thyme, the remaining1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
• For the shrimp: In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and set aside. When cool enough to handle, chop the shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir the shrimp and any pan juices into the potatoes.
• Transfer to a bowl and serve.

Steps:

• If you bought raw shrimp, steam shrimp until pink, about 5 minutes, then cold shock under running water. Place in freezer until ready to serve.
• Mix celery, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce, chili sauce, ketchup and vegetable juice together and season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce into 4 martini glasses and surround rim with chilled shrimp. Serve lemon wedges alongside glasses on cocktail forks.

Steps:

• In a large pot, add unpeeled potatoes and cover with cold water up to 2-inches above. Add coarse sea salt and bring it to a boil. Cook until tender, about 25 minutes.
• Drain them well and peel them while they're still hot. Pass them through a potato ricer or a food mill into the same pot they were boiled in earlier.
• Place the pot back on the burner and set the heat on low.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add a drop of water which will prevent the milk from boiling over. Pour in the milk and warm it up on medium heat.
• Add 4 tablespoons of butter at a time to the potatoes and stir until almost incorporated before adding some more, stirring very well between each addition.
• Using a whisk, combine the liquid into the mixture and continue doing this until all incorporated. Season with salt and whisk to blend.
• To serve, spoon the mashed potatoes into martini glasses and place 6 cold poached shrimp evenly around the glass.
