Recipe: Lomo-Wrapped Shrimp with Grilled Bread, Pistou, and Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette

Sure, bacon-wrapped shrimp is tasty, but the finger food's dated status precludes us from ever preparing it for guests, lest they be reminded of hairspray-shellacked 'dos and other '80s trappings that are best forgotten.
Thankfully, chef John Taus of the Corner in Philadelphia has pulled this combination back into the present: he retires the bacon in exchange for tissue-thin slices of lomo embuchado, a dry-cured pork tenderloin from Spain. A parsley-based pistou and fiery paprika vinaigrette round out this elegant, Mediterranean-inspired update.
Recipe: Pan-Roasted Shrimp with East Indian Spices

At his Beard House dinner, Uttam Singh Rawat of Mehndi in Morristown, New Jersey, served these Thai bird's-eye chile–spiced shrimp as an hors d’oeuvre, but they make for a hearty main course when served over rice—and the whole dish comes together in under an hour. Get the recipe here.
February's Best Recipes

Here are our recipe tester's favorite recipes from the last month:
Patatas Bravas with Fried Eggs and Chorizo
Ryan Poli of Chicago's Tavernita adds pan-fried chorizo and eggs to this tapas-bar standard.
Shrimp Rillettes
This sweet and spicy spread from Atlanta-based chef Linton Hopkins is equally at home at a dinner party or among your beer-slugging sports buddies.
Riesling-Poached Pineapple with Rosemary Whipped Cream and Pink Peppercorns
Super Bowl Recipe: Linton Hopkins's Shrimp Rillettes

Your football buddies might raise an eyebrow if you serve this oh-so-French-sounding spread from Atlanta-based chef Linton Hopkins at your Super Bowl party. But once they get a taste of the sweet shrimp paste that's been whipped with cayenne pepper and a generous dose of butter, they'll be parked by the ramekin for the rest of the game, alternating between rillettes-slathered chips and slugs of all-American lager.

Market Haul: December 5

This week’s CSA box includes what will likely be the last of the season's broccoli, along with some gorgeous Brussels sprouts, crunchy kohlrabi, and plenty of root vegetables.
The Haul: Russet potatoes, Tuscan kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, kohlrabi, parsley
The Menu Ideas:
Southern Indian Vegetable Curry [Jamie Oliver] Ignore the long list of ingredients and adapt this recipe according to what you have on hand. Don’t like okra? Sub in cauliflower. Need to use up some carrots? Throw them in. The curry leaves are optional but coconut milk is a must.
Recipe: Scott Conant's Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Shrimp, Farro, and Leeks
This soulful pumpkin soup, which Scott Conant served at his recent Beard House dinner, bears the chef's signature, rustic-meets-refined style. All that's missing is a hunk of crusty bread to mop up the last drops.
Recipe: Our Labor Day Menu
Labor Day: for many of us, it's the last hurrah of summer. We've got recipes that will help make the best of the long weekend.
Mint Julep – The Kentucky Derby is long over, but JBF Award winners Matt Lee and Ted Lee's recipe for this classic Southern cocktail is a great way to cool off all summer.
Vegetables a la Grecque – James Beard's solution to late summer's "bounty of glistening vegetables," this simple recipe can be made in advance.
Barbecued Shrimp with Pineapple Chutney – Chutney adds an unexpected burst of flavor to this grilled seafood dish.
Recipe: Hugo’s Texas BBQ Shrimp with Maytag Blue Cheese Slaw
This dish, from Michael and Wendy Jordan of Rosemary’s Restaurant in Las Vegas, is an old New Orleans recipe, named for the spicy, smoky nature of the sauce. The Jordans consider this version, served with blue cheese cole slaw, a signature dish. They make their own mayonnaise for the slaw; we saved ourselves a step and used a good store-bought brand, Hellmann’s, to which we added Maytag blue cheese.
