Serve shrimp mixture over grits in melamine bowls.
Quail Eggs Benedict
To make hollandaise sauce: beat one egg yolk in a heat-safe bowl. Place bowl over a boiling pot of water, making sure that the bowl does not touch the bottom of the pot. Continue to beat egg yolk until thickened. Mix in 4 ounces of ghee, one tablespoon of lemon juice, and a dash of hot sauce, if desired. Set aside. For the eggs: add ¼ cup of distilled white vinegar to a medium pot of simmering water. Gently break the quail eggs, one by one into the water and let simmer for one minute. With a slotted spoon, remove eggs individually and place on a miniature brioche bun. Spoon hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with parsley.
Hanoi Style Pho
Prepare, dry, and generously salt a whole 3 to 4 pound chicken. Chill, uncovered for at least 6 hours. Transfer chicken to a large pot, and add 1 gallon of water. Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 40 minutes. Use tongs to transfer chicken to a cutting board. Discard skin, shred chicken meat, return bones to broth, and let simmer to reduce for 35 minutes. To the simmering broth, add 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and salt to taste. Strain broth into a clean pot, add reserved shredded chicken. Divide 2 ½ pounds of fresh rice noodles between 8 incline melamine bowls.
