Title: Shrimp Celery Victor
Categories: Seafood, Poultry, Vegetables, Greens
Yield: 6 servings

3 Celery hearts; each 2 1/2"
- wide, 1/2 to 3/4 lb.
3 1/2 c Fat-skimmed chicken broth
1/3 c Extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 c Tarragon vinegar
1 1/4 lb U-35 shelled, deveined
- shrimp; rinsed, drained
12 Canned anchovy fillets;
- drained
2 tb Drained capers
1 qt Lightly packed watercress
- sprigs; rinsed, crisped
Salt & pepper

Trim and discard tough stem ends from celery hearts,
keeping stalks attached to bases; trim and discard tops
to make stalks about 8" long. Rinse and drain celery
hearts. With a vegetable peeler, pare coarse strings
from outer stalk backs. Cut each heart in half longtway;
tie each half tightly around center with cotton string.

Combine celery and broth in a 5 to 6 quart pan (at least
10" wide). Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, reduce
heat, and simmer until celery is tender when pierced, 12
to 15 minutes, turning bundles over halfway through
cooking.

Combine olive oil and vinegar in a 1-gallon heavy
plastic food bag. With tongs, transfer celery from broth
to bag. Set upright and let cool.

Meanwhile, add shrimp to broth; bring to a simmer over
high heat, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, just
until shrimp are opaque but still moist-looking in
center of thickest part (cut to test), 30 seconds to 1
minute. With a slotted spoon, lift shrimp from broth and
add to plastic bag with celery (save broth for other
uses or discard). Let cool, about 30 minutes, then press
bag to seal. Turn bag to coat celery and shrimp with
dressing. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 1
day, turning bag occasionally.

Lift celery from dressing; remove and discard strings,
and place a bundle on each dinner plate. With a slotted
spoon, lift shrimp from dressing and mound beside
celery.

Crisscross 2 anchovy fillets on each portion, then
sprinkle with capers. Tuck watercress around celery and
shrimp. Spoon remaining dressing from bag over salads,
and add salt and pepper to taste.

Makes 6 main-dish servings
