Cooking Notes
This recipe is from Cuisine Rapide, from Pierre Franey's 60-Minute Gourmet, and was paired with Rice and Pistachios. I cook for 2 so scaled back the amount of seafood. Even so, it was an expensive dinner but quite good. I loved the textures of the pistachios, the celery, and the seafood. If making again, I would add a little zing: maybe some anisette or some saffron or cayenne. Easy to prepare. If all the ingredients are prepared in advance, dinner can be on the table in minutes.
