This is a very easy way to make an elegant shrimp dish. The plating is right in style, in that it is layered/piled in a vertical fashion. Select a fairly large plate for best presentation. The success of this dish will depend on thinking ahead. If you are to serve on mashed potatoes, make them ahead and keep in a double boiler until needed (the same for the rice or polenta). Pre-cook the garden peas for garnish and have handy. Pre-measure all of the ingredients in advance, as the actual cooking goes really fast. I think this might be your next favorite recipe!
