To use up the eggs you could follow this main course with the Rose Levy Beranbaum's Chocolate Tomato Cake with Mystery Ganache as a dessert. It works well as an affordable main course. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 50 minutes.
Instructions
Marinate the shrimp in the olive oil, oregano, and garlic 30 minutes
Preheat a grill. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
Slide 4 shrimp onto each skewer.
Place on a hot grill and mark on both sides quickly, not cooking them through.
Put them in a baking dish and pour the fish broth over the shrimp with the tomatoes and place in the oven for about 4 minutes.
Remove from the oven, take the shrimp out of the baking dish, and place on a platter.
In a bowl whisk together the eggs and lemon juice. Slowly pour in the fish broth with the tomatoes and incorporate it until foamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour it over the shrimp and sprinkle with parsley.
Serve warm, as an appetizer.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. You could try Skyfall Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.
Skyfall Pinot Gris
Pale straw in color with notes of mango, citrus blossom and banana in the nose. On the palate a medley of tropical fruit unfolds into tangerine, mango, grapefruit, and banana flavors. These tropical notes continue throughout the long and lingering finish.
