Recipe Introduction


This is a wonderful dish that is simply bursting with flavor.




List of Ingredients




1/2 lb. medium shrimp
2 TB. canola oil
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 Cup)
1 stalk celery, chopped (about 1/2 Cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 3/4 tsp. MINCED GARLIC)
2 small or 1 regular eggplant, peeled and chopped
1 slice day-old white bread
1/2 Cup white wine
1 egg, beaten
1/4 Cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. EPAZOTE, optional
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 lemon, juice of (about 2 TB.)
1/2-1 tsp. salt
1/2-1 tsp. PENZEYS FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER, to taste
1/4-1/2 tsp. CRUSHED RED PEPPER FLAKES, to taste
2 green onions, both ends removed, sliced
1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese, divided


Recipe



Heat the oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the eggplant and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. An additional tablespoon or two of oil may be required if the eggplant starts to stick. While the eggplant is cooking, prepare the seasonings by crumbing the bread in a medium bowl. Add the wine, egg, parsley, EPAZOTE (if using), Worcestershire, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, PEPPER and CRUSHED RED PEPPER FLAKES. Use the larger amount of GROUND PEPPER and CRUSHED RED PEPPER FLAKES if you enjoy spicier food. Set aside. When the eggplant is cooked, add the green onions and shrimp to the skillet and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2-5 minutes. Add the seasoning mixture and mix well and cook a final 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the cheese and mix well. Pour into a casserole dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Place under the broiler on low until the cheese melts, about 2-4 minutes.
