INSTRUCTIONS

COMPOUND BUTTER
Shrimp Saki, despite the name, does not have any sort of Polynesian or
Oriental aspect. The name is the nickname of a Mrs.. Sakowitz, who used to
stay at the Pontchartrain Hotel's Caribbean Room every time she came to
town. Shrimp Saki was on the menu at the Pontchartrain for a very long
time, and if you find it there now, get it.
1. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet until it smokes, then saute the
shrimp until they turn pink--about two minutes. Sprinkle on salt and pepper
while sautéing.
2. Add the vermouth to the pan and remove the pan from the heat. Stir in
the compound butter until it coats the shrimp. Spoon the extra sauce on the
plate, and serve the shrimp in a row on top of the sauce.
Serves four.
To make the compound butter, blend all ingredients together and
refrigerate. It's better if the compound butter is blended a day or more
before you use it.
