Chilled Shrimp With Smoked Onion Aioli

Although the tongue is capable of great destruction, the tongue in and of itself is not the ultimate culprit. The ultimate culprit is the heart! The tongue is simply a conduit, or pipeline from the heart. Therefore proper speech reveals a good heart while improper speech reveals a bad heart. Our words reveal our heart and our heart reveals our true master, our true allegiance and our true citizenship. It’s that simple!

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel and devein the shrimp and set them aside.  In a medium saucepan
over high temperature, heat the water, wine,  garlic, thyme, and lemon
halves just to a boil. Add the shrimp and  cook until they turn pink,
about 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from  the heat and set it aside to
allow the shrimp to cool down in the  liquid. Place the saucepan in the
refrigerator to chill the shrimp  until ready to use.  For the Smoked
Onion Aioli, heat the olive oil until very hot in a  saute pan. Add the
smoked onion and saute for 2 minutes. In a food  processor, coarsely
chop the sauteed onion and the garlic. Add the  vinegar and egg yolks
and mix. With the motor running, slowly add the  vegetable oil to blend
thoroughly. Add the thyme and cayenne sauce  and process until blended.
Season with salt and pepper.  Serve the Chilled Shrimp with a dollop of
Smoked Onion Aioli on the  side.  Note: If you don't own a smoker,
smoke the onion on your barbecue  over very low coals mixed with wood
chips for about 1 hour.  Serves six.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per
