A SMART MOVE gives this shrimp recipe its intense umami flavor. The third Slow Food Fast contribution from chef Melissa Rodriguez features a lemon-herb marinade and a quick sauté in garlic-infused olive oil. But the game-changing element of this dish is a part of the shrimp typically thrown away: “Shrimp shells are underutilized,” the chef said. “They’re just packed with flavor.”
Ms. Rodriguez earned an international reputation at Del Posto, the Manhattan temple of high-end Italian cooking. This dish evinces the more-informal spirit of her new restaurant, Mel’s, as well as the meticulous technique fundamental to all her cooking.
