    List of Ingredients




    Ale-Poached Shrimp with Saffron Sauce


    1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    2 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
    2 cups heavy cream
    2 cups vegetable stock or low-sodium broth
    Pinch of saffron threads
    Kosher salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    2 12 ounce bottles Belgian-style blond ale, such as Leffe
    1 1/4 pounds shelled and deveined large shrimp, tails left on
    1 pound thick asparagusówoody ends trimmed, tips halved lengthwise and stalks thinly sliced crosswise

    Recipe




    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter in the extra-virgin olive oil.

    Add the scallions and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 2 minutes.

    Add the heavy cream, vegetable stock and saffron and bring just to a boil.

    Simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is reduced to 1 3/4 cups, about 15 minutes.

    Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a small saucepan and season with salt and pepper.

    Keep the saffron sauce warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.

    Meanwhile, in a large, deep saucepan, bring the ale just to a simmer.

    Add the shrimp and poach over moderate heat until they are just cooked through, about 3 minutes.

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate, pat dry and season with salt and pepper.

    In a medium saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the asparagus pieces until they are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the asparagus to paper towels to drain.

    Spoon the saffron sauce into shallow bowls, top with the blanched asparagus and poached shrimp and serve.

    Servings: 4
