Or, if you prefer, “Asparagus and Shrimp” … All in WDW style!
I wanted Mrs. All in WDW to write this one, but she politely declined. Having said that, I can’t take any of the credit. It is her masterpiece, and I can only eat and enjoy the low-calorie, delicious meal that follows.
Back in Spring, at the 2013 Epcot “Food” & Garden Festival, the Italy marketplace – Primavera Kitchen – introduced us to Asparagi con Aragosta all’Ortolana. Or, call it green asparagus, lobster, and garden cocktail sauce.
2013 “Food” & Garden’s Asparagus, Lobster, and Garden Cocktail Sauce.
Well, even though we don’t love cold lobster, we really enjoyed that plate, prompting me to write, “I can tell you one thing. I’m not a huge fan of either asparagus or cold lobster, but this dish was very good. Way to go, Italy! I’ll be back.”
Sadly, we never went back for a second helping, but, undaunted, Mrs. All in WDW came up with her own simple version of Chef Jens Dahlmann’s creation.
The key word is “simple”.
- Thin asparagus spears are steamed.
- Fresh peeled and deveined shrimp are seasoned and sautéed in garlic and olive oil until done.
- The asparagus is laid on the plate and topped by the shrimp.
- The finale is a drizzle of Greek feta salad dressing.
The result is a very tasty and filling meal. Enjoy!
