Ingredients:

6 large eggs
1 large red beet, foil-wrap and roast until soft
1 Tbsp. white vinegar
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
24 large Markon First Crop Basil leaves
1 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Place eggs and white vinegar in large pot. Top with cold water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove eggs; chill.
Peel and small dice the beet. Keep the nice cuts; puree remaining pieces with a little water. Place eggs in beet puree for 1 hour to add color. Remove eggs; halve.
Combine yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, and apple cider vinegar; whisk until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste. Place mixture in egg whites; garnish with diced beets and basil.

Ingredients:

1 bunch Markon First Crop Asparagus, steamed

1/4 C Markon First Crop Basil

2 T Markon First Crop Chervil

2 T C Ready-Set-Serve Lemon Juice

2 cloves Ready-Set-Serve Peeled Garlic

1 tsp. lemon zest

1/4 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. coriander

1/4 C extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

16 large shrimp, cleaned and threaded onto skewers to prevent curling

1 tsp. kosher salt

Olive oil + 2 cloves Ready-Set-Serve Peeled Garlic, for poaching

Edible petals and micro greens for garnish

Instructions:

Slice tips off asparagus and reserve. Add basil, chervil, one cup steamed asparagus stalks, lemon juice, zest, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper flakes, and oil to a food processor and blend until chunky.

Heat oil and garlic until just bubbling. Add shrimp skewers so that shrimp is fully submerged. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until shrimp is opaque and cooked through. When shrimp are almost cooked, add asparagus tips. Remove all with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack.

To plate, arrange tips in a decorative manner. Place shrimp next to asparagus and ladle sauce on top of each one. Garnish with edible petals and micro greens.
