3 tablespoons olive oil
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 lb onion, cut into small dice (small dice=1/4-inch cube)
2 granny smith apples, peeled and in medium dice (medium dice=1/2-inch cube)
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup Sauternes wine
8 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons tiny-diced shallots (recipe calls for brunoise cut=1/8-inch cube)

fresh ground black pepper, to taste
3 lbs large shrimp (also known as prawns)

1
Heat a saute pan over high heat, then add 3 tablespoons olive oil, the onions, and a large pinch of salt, and caramelize the onions, stirring often, until theyre brown, about 12 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, begin the broth: in a large saucepot over medium high heat combine the stock, Sauternes wine, garlic, shallots, cinnamon, and saffron, and simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce by half.
3
Add the carrots to the broth and simmer until just tender, about 5 minutes.
4
When the onion begins to caramelize (at about 12 min), add the apples and cook until just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
5
Add apple/onion mix to the broth, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper; reduce heat to low.
6
Peel, de-vein, and season the prawns with salt and pepper.
7
Heat a skillet over high temperature, add the 3 tablespoons oil, then add the seasoned prawns; sear on high until just done (pink) but crusty (slightly browned).
8
To serve: place a mound of your favorite rich mashed potatoes in the centers of large bowls (you can also use a ring mold) and pool the broth around and over; add the crusty prawns on and around, then garnish with the basil.
9
Enjoy!
