  • 1/2 bunch parsle
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme

Shrimp:

  2. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  3. Cocktail Sauce, recipe follows
  4. Lemon wedges

Directions

  • Put the water, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, lemon, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer, set a cover on top slightly ajar, and cook for 10 to 30 minutes.
  • Drop the shrimp into the liquid and turn off the heat. Cook the shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they curl and turn pink, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes for medium shrimp, 3 minutes for large ones. Drain and cool to room temperature. Peel the shrimp and remove the vein along the curve of the shrimp, if desired. Refrigerate if not serving right away. If refrigerated, bring the shrimp to room temperature 20 minutes before serving.
  • To serve put the cocktail sauce in a medium bowl and surround with the shrimp, or loop the shrimp over the edge of an individual cocktail glass and top with the sauce. Garnish with the lemon and serve.
    Optional Tip: To de-vein the shrimp before cooking, hold a shrimp between the thumb and forefinger with the rounded side of the shrimp upward.

3. Serrano Ham with Crusty Tomato Bread:
For this classic tapas morsel, sweet and garlicky tomato spread is the perfect companion for thin slices of salty, dry-cured Spanish ham. Plum tomatoes are called for because they contain less water and therefore have a more intense flavor when they are slow-roasted.

Ingredients

  • 2 plum tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons garlic oil, (see Note), divided
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 whole-grain baguette, cut into 24 slices, or 12 pieces whole-grain bread, cut in half
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced Serrano ham, (about 24 slices; see Note)

Directions

  1. To prepare tomatoes: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each half with some oil, some oregano and salt. Roast for 2 hours. When cool enough to handle, coarsely chop the tomatoes and transfer (with juices) to a serving bowl.
  3. To serve tapas: Shortly before serving, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. Place bread on a baking sheet and brush with some of the remaining garlic oil. Bake until slightly crispy, but not hard, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Let cool slightly. To serve, arrange the bread on a large platter with ham and the bowl of tomato mixture for spreading.

Notes: Serrano ham is full-flavored, savory dry-cured ham made from specific breeds of white pigs. Find it in well-stocked supermarkets, specialty stores or online at tienda.com.
