What a wonderful day in school today. We got to eat Grilled Salmon and Fried Shrimps. The sauce that Chef made for the Shrimp was so wonderfully seasoned that it took fried shrimps to a whole new level. Here is the recipe for Mayo that I use.
1 Egg yolk, 3/4 tsp White wine Vinegar, 1/4 tsp Dijon Mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, 6oz. Salad oil. Salt, Cayenne pepper, Lemon Juice to taste.
Put all the ingredients into a medium size bowl except for the oil. Place your bowl on a wet towel in order to keep it from moving around on you. Whisk in one hand and oil in the other. Moving your whisk quickly back and forth, elbow close to your side, and lots of wrist action to keep from killing your arm halfway through making your mayo. Mix ingredients in the bowl and VERY SLOWLY drizzle the oil into one side of the bowl Slowly incorporating the oil. It will start off with a bright yellow hue from the eggs and mustard but as you add the oil and whisk it will slowly lighten into what you normally know as mayo. If your mayo gets too thick before you finish adding the oil add a little bit of water to thin it a little... a little as in 1/2 tsp at a time. If your mayo breaks, Whisk a little faster. When all your oil has been added, Taste then season with salt, cayenne and squeeze in 1/4 lemon to start until you achieve the flavor that you want.
Now for the Sauce for Fried shrimps add Parsley, Dill, Basil, Cayenne, and Curry. Add a little more lemon to taste. As you see on the vid he just Adds stuff. A little bit of this, a little bit of that...
Don't limit yourself to just Dijon. Switch it up and use your favorite Mustard in it's stead. I used Walla Walla sweet onion Mustard and it was Umami...
Enjoy.
