welcome friends welcome back to the kitchen today i'm doing a little
appetizer and i've got just a very small amount
because this holiday season we're restricted in the number of people that
we can have over in fact we shouldn't be having anybody
over to our house with covid going on so i've done just
enough for julie and i so we can stay in the spirit of the
holidays now in this saucier i'm going to put a little bit of
olive oil and i want to heat that up pretty hot
and i'm sure most of you have noticed i use my saucier more like a wok
than an actual saucepan so into the here i'm going to put some finely diced
jalapeno and some sliced
shallots apparently everybody loves the way i say shallot
and i just want to fry those off really quickly get a little bit of color
and a little bit of flavor into that oil i don't really think i say shallots
funny anyway so next in i have some shrimp and
i have taken the shells off deveined them clean
them up and i'm going to put those in and this recipe takes almost no time at
all we just want to fry the shrimp until they turn pink
and are cooked through doesn't take much time at all
i think the shrimp are almost there it doesn't take long
at all the next ingredient is tequila and you could use whichever
tequila you like now you could use any tequila you
like and it doesn't have to be tequila you
could use rum a high proof rum works really well oozo works really well
uh all kinds of other liqueurs as long as the alcohol level is high enough and
you think the flavor would work with the shrimp
i wouldn't use something like whiskey because it might be too
overpowering that woody flavor or the the pity flavor
might be too much to go with the shrimp now i'm going to put in a couple of
really good gloves
and i'm going to stir that around get it hot
and i'm going to stand back because i'm going to add flame
and i'm going to let that tequila burn off now if you're uncomfortable with
flame don't do it don't do it inside if you're
not comfortable with it make sure that you've got a lid
for the pot handy that you can put over top of it or a fire extinguisher or
something like that and if you're still uncomfortable just
put in white wine white wine would work really well with
this you don't need that giant flame but it's
going to bring a toasty nuttiness to the entire thing
now in the bottom of this pot we've got a sauce going here
with what's left over what didn't burn and to that
i'm going to add a little bit of butter just to finish it off
bring some gloss to the sauce so stir that in and get everything
coated and then we're ready to take this to the plate okay to
the plate get that sauce over top
and i'm going to put a little bit of cilantro on top
hey glenn hey jules hi friends oh i'm like just too late aren't i we
already had the fire we already had the fire you can see the
fire in the replay that's okay i'm ready to taste the
results
buttery sauce just a hint of tequila you just get that little bit of tequila
don't you mm-hmm that's um that's quite nice
again we need some bread to dip into the sauce
yeah yeah it's often with many of these things the sauce
afterwards yes mussels all that kind of stuff

little bit of theater if you have people in your kitchen and
