No. 43: Rock Shrimp Tempura from Morimoto
Each chopstick-sized bite of tender, juicy Florida rock shrimp at Morimoto is lovingly
draped
in the Iron Chef's own version of spicy mayo, a concoction that feels
less like
"aioli" and more like a velvety brushing of peppery sweet-and-sour
sauce. The secret: Grand Marnier and sweetened condensed milk, at least
according to his cookbook. This dish has all the things that make good
bar food work --
spicy, crunchy, fried -- yet, with its edible garnish of bitter endive,
it's far more elegant than a fritter has any right to be. The only
issue is that to eat it, you've got to be a guest or member at the swank
Boca Raton Resort & Club. Either pony up $250 a night for a hotel
room or make friends with a member and you can dine at Morimoto's
luxurious, on-site sushi bar.
