Watch along in the "CALIFORNIA LIVING™ with Aprilanne" San Francisco TV show video on the left above to see how Mauna Kea Beach Hotel's Executive Chef Peter Pahk turns ordinary vegetables into a fun and savory dish to serve at your next party, and read on for Chef Pahk's Tequila Lime Shrimp Recipe below:

Ingredients to make 4 servings of Chef Peter Phak's Tequila Lime Shrimp:

• 1 pound cooked Oregon Pink Shrimp
• 1 cup each of Red Beet, Yellow Beet and Cucumber to make the Vegetable “Confetti”
• 1 1/2 cups Tequila and Lime Sauce (see recipe below)
• 1-cup chiffonade of Romaine Lettuce
• 6 Martini glasses
• 6 Sprigs each of dill and Italian Parsley
• 6 wedges of lime

Ingredients for the Tequila Kefir Sauce:

• 14 ounces plain kefir or Greek Style Yogurt
• 2 ounces organic tequila
• Juice of 2 limes (about 1 ounce)
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:

1. To make the “Confetti” you will need a turning machine. Simply set up the radishes, peppers, etc. into the machine and crank away. This is one of the greatest ways you can “sneak” veggies into dishes and it’s fun and easy. (Watch CALIFORNIA LIVING™TV show segment on left for more details)
2. For the chiffonade of Romaine you will need one head of just the heart of Romaine lettuce. Starting from the stem end, slice as thin a ribbon of Romaine that you can. Reserve.
3. To serve, place 1 ounce of romaine at the bottom of a martini glass. Hang a few strands of each kind of “Confetti” down the glass, and then spoon about 2 ounces of Kefir Sauce on top of the lettuce,
4. Add about 3 ounces of the Oregon Pink Shrimp on top.
5. Garnish with the dill and parsley sprigs and lime wedge.

To compliment the acid and salt balance of this dish, try pairing it with a sparkling beverage of your choice such as champagne, sparkling wine, beer, or a sparkling water...and enjoy some real CALIFORNIA LIVING™with me ~ Aprilanne Hurley
