Egg Yolk Carpaccio Set up an immersion circulator and water bath to 145 degrees. Whisk yolks together in a small bowl and place egg yolks in a zip-close bag. Once water is 145 degrees, drop egg yolk filled bag into water and tape top to side of the container to keep it in place (sous vide). Cook yolks for 1 1⁄2 hours. Pour cooked yolks into small bowl. Whisk in clarified butter and salt, then cover with plastic and keep in a warm place. Makes about 1 cup
Crispy Sweet Potatoes Peel sweet potatoes and cut into thin slices using mandolin or slicer. Then cut into fine strips using a chef knife and place in cold water. Preheat fryer to 350 following manufacture's direction and fry sweet potatoes until crispy. Season with salt right away. Reserve until needed. Makes 1 quart
To Complete Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat until smoking. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add shrimp carefully to hot oil and sauté on each side for 1 minute or until cooked through. Reserve shrimp on paper towel-lined tray until needed.
Spoon about 2 Tablespoons of egg yolk mix in the center of 4 warm plates. Smear the yolk mixture into an 8-inch oval. Top each oval with 6 shrimp. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon of andouille vinaigrette on top of each shrimp. Top each carpaccio with 1 cup of crispy sweet potato and scallions to garnish. Serves 4
