Saffron shrimp

Serves 1
Time: 18 minCalories:485 kcal

Shrimp poached in a saffron coconut broth with fennel and green-onion tops.

Ingredients
  • Shrimp — 4¼ oz (8–10, peeled)
  • Saffron (pinch)
  • Full-fat coconut milk — ½ cup
  • Fennel — 4 oz (½ bulb, sliced)
  • Green-onion tops — 2 Tbsp
  • Garlic-infused olive oil — 1 Tbsp
  • Parsley
  • Sea salt
Method
  1. Soften the fennel in the oil over medium 3–4 minutes. Add the saffron and coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Add the shrimp and poach gently 3–4 minutes, just until pink and opaque (don't boil hard).
  3. Stir in the green-onion tops and parsley; season and serve with the broth.
Notes

Bloom the saffron in 1 Tbsp warm water for 5 minutes before adding — dry saffron in oil gives a fraction of the color and almost none of the flavor.
