I made this for dinner last night and it was truly scrumptious. I did make changes and it was more of a south of France flavour than a Mexican one. I had no jalapeno or cilantro, so I put garlic and basil in the salsa fresca. I used the small Japanese cucumbers and they were really good in this. I’ll be making this again! It was fast to put together.
Jacques Pépin is a great cook! And I’m all for taking shortcuts that work. And BTW, I LOVE sautéed cucumbers! Anyway, this dish looks terrific — tons of flavor and I really like the color. Thanks!
What a great Shrimp recipe with awesome flavor. I just pinned this one! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday and you have a great weekend!

Your shrimp dish sounds so yummy, Madonna. I have never used cucumbers in a cooked dish, either. Thanks for letting me know that TJ’s makes a good pico de gallo.
Also, your corn soufflé looked scrumptious, too. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kitty. The first time I made this I left out the cucumbers because like I said it sounds strange, but it was a nice surprise all around. I hope you will make it and give it a try. Oh, and give the salsa verde a try. Good over pork chops or chicken. If you try it let me know your thoughts.
Penny says
I have a shrimp lover also. I will definitely be making this Madonna. Looks beautiful and easy.
Ms. Lemon says
I hope you will make this, it is shockingly easy. Please let me know what your thoughts are if you do. And, as always I love your comments.
Lorrie says
I’ve been craving shrimp lately and this recipe ticks all the boxes. Guess what we’re having for dinner tonight? Thank you so much for sharing!
Ms. Lemon says
Please let me know your thoughts and any improvements you might make, but I have to tell you I thought it was pretty good.
Thanks for stopping by Lorrie.

I am delighted. Funny, I was thinking salsa fresca my next time. I love that it goes together so quickly.
Thanks for coming back and letting me know your thoughts.
Chris Scheuer says
Yum! Looks like a masterpiece to me! I love your substitution of the shrimp, that would be my choice too!
Ms. Lemon says
Chris, I think you will like this.

I bet you can find those beautiful, big, fat Gulf shrimp pretty easily in your neck of the woods! I’m jealous up here in landlocked Iowa!
Ms. Lemon says
Wini, Jacques made this dish with sole, so any white fish would work. I hope you will give it a try.
