Seared yellowtail with shrimp "crudo" and kumquat citronette


A little out of the way recipe for a light, elegant and tangy appetizer that with the addtion of a few greens will turn into a great salad.



Start with the dressing; slice a few kumquats as thin as you can removing the seeds and reserving whatever juice they'll bleed.

Squeeze a few more and add the juice to the sliced fruit and the juice you reserved.

Mix in some extremely thin diced shallot, S&P, a bit of sugar to balance and some olive oil.

Peel and devein shrimp, slice them very thin and toss with the dressing.

Season the yellow tail "loin" with S&P and sear it quickly in an extremely hot skillet.

Slice it, arrange it on a plate and pour the shrimp and the dressing on it.

I like to serve it with a thin toast and a crispy green salad with some "exotic" fruit mixed in it.

Enjoy!
