V. Sattui Mustard Prawns

Mustard flowers adorn the winter landscape throughout Napa Valley. Mustard is a favorite ingredient, including in this delicious dish that pairs perfectly with V. Sattui’s collection of Chardonnay.

Serves 6

Pairing:

INGREDIENTS

Prawns — 3 lbs (heads removed, peeled & deveined)
Dijon Mustard —  1/4 cup
Salt — 1/2 cup, plus 2 tbsp
Red Chili Flakes — 1 tsp
Champagne Vinegar — 1/2 cup
Canola Oil — 1 cup
Shallots — 1/4 cup, finely chopped
Italian Parsley — 1/4 cup, finely chopped

PREPARATION

In a large pot bring 6 quarts of water to a boil, then add ½ cup of sea salt

When water begins to boil again, add the prawns. Bring to a boil once more and cook for only a half minute (30 seconds). Drain and let the prawns cool.

While waiting for the prawns to cool, make the emulsion: In a mixer bowl, place the Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, chili flakes and champagne vinegar.

Mix on medium-low for about 1-2 minutes, then add the oil very slowly (so the ingredients don’t separate) until the oil is done.

In a large bowl, place the prawns, then add the emulsion, the shallots and the parsley. Mix very well to coat the prawns. Serve chilled.
