2 tsp Jamaican jerk spice (dry)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup POM pomegranate arils
10 oz pomegranate emulsion (see recipe below – 6oz + 4oz reserved for service)
Combine shrimp and Jamaican jerk seasoning in a bowl. Heat oil in a sauté pan until just smoking; add shrimp, and sauté on both sides until cooked.
Add fennel, kumquats, cilantro, and pomegranate arils to sauté pan with shrimp and cook 1 minute.
Add 6 oz of pomegranate emulsion to pan and toss to combine.
1 tsp jalapeño, deseeded, minced
½ cup POM Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Gently combine all ingredients in a bowl except olive oil. Slowly whisk in EVOO in a steady stream to emulsify. Reserve for recipe.
Place approximately 1-2 tablespoons of fennel slaw on 4 small platters or plates. Arrange 5 shrimp around the warm slaw on each plate. Drizzle 1oz of emulsion over each serving of shrimp.
