INSTRUCTIONS
Peel and butterfly shrimp, cutting underside of shrimp 3/4 of the way through. Clean out dark vein, rinse and dry. Rinse and dry shells. Saute shells in medium pot with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion and garlic, color moderately for 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir for 2 minutes, then add wine and bundle of herbs. Reduce to half. Add 2 cups cold water and simmer for 30 minutes. For Stuffing: Sweat leeks in butter for 1 minute. Add sweet potato and cook 2 minutes. Add spinach, apple and tomato, stirring until all items are fairly soft, about 5 minutes. Add curry or cumin powder, cream and bread, stirring for 2 minutes. Away from heat stir in egg yolk, salt and pepper to taste. Let cool. Add 1 heaping tablespoon to open side of shrimp, lightly seasoned, folding over any tail section. Lay shrimps on lightly buttered baking dish, stuffing-side up. Add strained stock (about 12 ounces) and bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, basting occasionally until just cooked. Reduce liquid as desired and whisk in chopped dill and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Season to taste. This recipe yields 4 servings.
