    Not on the Egg, but... Mario Batali has a good recipe. Like the other marsalas I've made, it's a quick pan sauce. Unlike chicken, veal, etc., the shrimps only stay on the fire for 2 to 3 minutes. What are you looking to add by using the Egg?

    After I made that post it did not dawn on me that this is a dish you usually to on the stove top but I have done chicken Marcela on the egg with a wok and brown the chicken with butter
    salt and pepper and remove it and then proceed. to add the wine and mushrooms and cook them down till the dish is done and put the chicken back into the mix.I must have had to much time on my hands that day.The cook was good.But after the fact to do shrimp Marcella for most of us would be less stressful to do it inside.

  • shrimp
    1/4 cup each: lime juice, tequila, water,
    1tbs olive oil
    1/4tsp salt.
    [original recipe calls for 1/4 cup minced onion i leave this out]
    marinade for 10 minutes
    pour off the marinade and put in sauce pan simmer 5 minutes
    grill the shrimp [skewer if you want ]
    serve shrimp on rice drizzle with simmered marinade
    to be truthful i make margharitas [no sugar] take some and add olive oil for the marinade, and drink the rest. then grill the shrimp as an appetizer and pass on the rice

    this is a very forgiving recipe. the only 'rule' is do not marinate too long or the lime juice will 'cook' the shrimp like cerviche/

    I'm glad you didn't forget the chef in that one. Might have to try it a few times till I get it right. ;) Think 2 bottles is enough practice? :woohoo:
    Thanks
