I'm gonna shake up your shrimp world today, with shrimp salad perfection. That's what I thought the first time this combination passed my lips...sheer shrimp genius on a plate! And to say that after 30 years it's still on my mind qualifies this as a memorable merger indeed! Grapefruit's piquant bitter juiciness balanced by French dressing's sweetness, and creamy avocado, all adorning succulent shrimp atop a bed of greens...truly, it's a marriage made in heaven!
This tangy pale orange dressing will go anywhere French dressing will go, but without all the white sugar, vegetable oil and stabilizers found in grocery store varieties. The freshness of raw apple cider vinegar, with all it's health benefits, and raw organic honey whirled into a creamy cold drizzle will brighten any bed of greens with it's added nutritional boost. So stop buying off the shelf! This is way too fast and simple to make, and the flavor is far superior! Of all the things to ever emerge from my kitchen, this is the one that has received more raves and requests than any other. Four exquisite layers of honey kissed pastry filled with a divine vanilla cream, diamond cut and sweetly dusted make this pastry one to remember. Around here, this is the one that is begged for on birthdays and is the much anticipated premier member of the holiday dessert table. And I have even made grand towering tiers of honey cream lusciousness for brides during my cake baking years. So in the world of famous desserts, I present to you what I call Honey Cream Diamonds, a Hungarian classic that we have loved since childhood. If I make it in the style of a cake, I have dubbed it Honey Cream Torte. As you read through, you may begin to see why I have never given this recipe out...it's a bit tedious. |
