Harissa Butter Poached Shrimp with Charred Red Cabbage and Pickled Green Tomato
Dish concept: {Duyen}: "We are making a brown butter harissa shrimp. We're in the hot sun. I know that if we make something cold, it might be too hard to keep it cool. The first thing I think about is I can make a butter sauce."
Developing the balance: {name}: "What you got here? Cabbage going?"
{name}: "I'm making pickling liquid and a brown butter sauce. Actually, it sounds pretty heavy, so instantly I'm thinking let's add some pickled element as well to balance it — pickling green tomatoes."
At presentation: Kristen Kish: "Hi, Nana. Duyen. Day. Beautiful. You got it."
{name}: "In front of you we have a harissa butter poached shrimp with charred red cabbage and a pickled green tomato."
Kish: "What is the sauce?" {name}: "The sauce is a harissa butter."
Yellow team was one of the top three dishes. Tom Colicchio praised the sauce: "The harissa butter was gorgeous. It was emulsified beautifully." Gail Simmons singled out the pickle element: "And the pickled green tomato - oh, that was my favourite part. Just a little pickle." The dish was commended for its intelligent balance between the richness of an emulsified butter sauce and the brightness of a quick-pickled element.
