Shrimp with Fennel Seed
Source: Libro de arte coquinaria by Maestro Martino de Como, 15th century
Original Recipe:
Gamarelli marini
Falli similmente allessare con de finocchio et darali simelemente l'aceto per sapore.
Translation: (from The Art of Cooking: The First Modern Cookery Book)
Bay Shrimp
They also should be boiled with some fennel seed and dressed with vinegar.
My Interpretation:
1 pound Shrimp, de-veined
1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
Clean & shell shrimp. In pot of boiling water place salt, fennel seeds & shrimp. Drain shrimp. Dress with vinegar.
