Mini Reni 02: Sourcebook

The essence of this dish is bold, simple, messy, off-the-coals shrimp that are finger-licking good. You’ll want to eat the heads, tails, and everything in between, including the shells. At its simplest, the word adobo comes from the verb adobar, which means “to marinate.” Originally adobo was used to describe a Spanish pickling sauce made of olives, vinegar, and spices. Chile-based Mexican adobo, like Spanish adobo, is often used as a marinade for meat and seafood. A protein marinated in adobo is referred to as adobada. Adobo can be thinned out with broth to make a sauce, turned into the base of a stew, or used as a condiment. Here adobo does triple duty as a marinade and brushing sauce for jumbo shrimp as well as being served as a spicy dipping sauce alongside.

Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts tend to maintain their moisture much better than their boneless, skinless counterparts. This recipe is an easy and delicious way to incorporate luxe truffles into everyday life. The truffle butter recipe used here goes a long way and can be stored in the freezer until you’re ready to use. For best results, prep the chicken breasts the night before and pair with a green salad, or roast a few veggies to serve alongside, and dinner is on the table in less than an hour! If truffle butter isn’t available, use plain butter or herbed butter as an easy substitute.
