Kürbiskernöl Aioli - Austrian Pumpkin Seed Oil Aioli

• For the Kurbiskernol Aioli
• 1 large organic egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• pepper, several grinds, or to taste
• 1 garlic clove, grated on a Microplane
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup walnut oil
• 3 tablespoons Kurbiskernol Austrian Pumpkin Seed Oil
• 1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas), optional
• For the Accompaniments:
• 1 quart water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 4 or 5 dried hot peppers, or to taste
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 juice of lemon
• 1 tablespoon panchpuran
• 2 pounds shrimp, U31 - 40
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 4 artichokes
• 1 pound new or red potatoes

1. Allow the egg to come to room temperature before separating.
2. Whisk together the egg yolk, salt, pepper, and grated garlic clove. I keep my garlic in the freezer in a zip top bag. It's a cinch to peel and thaws in about a minute.
3. Slowly drip in the walnut oil, drop by drop until thickened. Then you can whisk in the walnut oil in a very thin stream
4. Once it is all incorporated, slowly whisk in the Kurbiskernol.
5. Taste and adjust lemon, pepper, and salt to taste. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds.
6. Bring the water to a simmer with the salt, dried hot peppers, bay leaves, lemon juice, and the panchpuran. Simmer, covered for about 10 minutes.
7. Add the shrimp, cover and turn off the heat. Stir after about 10 minutes and cover again. Let sit in the liquid until you are ready to eat.
8. Poach a bunch of asparagus in lightly salted water with a pinch of sugar until tender. I used the purple asparagus I have in my garden.
9. Use your favorite method to cook 4 artichokes, trimmed nicely. I prefer to use the pressure cooker here, can't beat the 10 minute cooking time.
10. Steam the potatoes until tender. I cooked them in the pressure cooker with the artichokes, saves time & a pan!
11. To serve: Divide the aioli into 4 serving bowls. Arrange the shrimp on a platter surrounded with the vegetables. Dig in, glass of wine in hand! Feel free to toss the shrimp shells over your shoulder... Enjoy!
