Mayo for Lobster Rolls

Mark Bittman's Recipe

Homemade Mayonnaise
Yield 1 cup
Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
1 egg yolk or whole egg
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice or sherry or white wine vinegar
1 cup neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn, or extra virgin olive oil, or a combination
Method
Put the yolk or egg, mustard, salt, pepper and lemon juice or vinegar in the container of a food processor and turn the machine on. While it's running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. (Your food processor should have a teeny hole you may never have noticed in the insert -- the "food pusher" -- in the top; if it doesn't, you might want a different food processor.). When an emulsion forms you can add it a little faster. (Again, the little hole makes this unnecessary.) Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Shrimp
(Rick Bayless Recipe)

1/2 small package (3.5 ounces)  achiote paste
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon vinegar
Salt
1 1/4 pounds (about 24 pieces) large shrimp, peeled

For the onions:
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 small habanero chile, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice


1.   Marinate the shrimp.  Break the achiote paste into a blender jar and add the garlic, orange and lime juices, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth. Pour over the shrimp, cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

2.   Prepare the onions.  In a small bowl, combine the onion, habanero (or as much of it as you think you’ll like), lime and 1 scant teaspoon salt. Cover and let stand until the shrimp is ready. (If working ahead, the onions may be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for several days.)

3.  Cook the shrimp.  In a very large (12-inch) skillet, heat the oil over medium-high.  Using a slotted spoon, scoop the shrimp out of the marinade and into the hot oil, leaving behind as much marinade as possible.  Stir-fry until the shrimp is just cooked through, about 3 minutes.  Scoop onto a serving plate, pour all of the marinade into the skillet, and stir continuously until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.  Thin the sauce with a little water until it’s the consistency of a cream sauce.  Spoon the sauce over the shrimp.  Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve with the pickled onions.
