Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
- 3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 24 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- Sliced scallions, for garnish
- 1/4 cup plus 2 talespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 Hass avocados—pitted, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 romaine hearts (280g), chopped
- 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 3 radishes, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a medium saucepan. Cook shallot and garlic over medium heat until softened, for around 3 minutes. Mix in wine and thyme and cook until the mixture is reduced by half, approximately 2 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce and broth, simmer until it reduces to ½ cup, about 15 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium-high heat, flipping once, for a total of 2 minutes. Add the prepared sauce and cook until it thickens, roughly 2 minutes. Stir in butter until it melts and season with salt. Plate the shrimp, topping with scallions for garnish.
- Combine olive oil and lemon juice in a large bowl. Mix in avocados, romaine, fennel, and radishes, season with salt, and toss gently to coat. Serve the shrimp alongside the salad.
