Apricots & Shrimp!!

Apricots!!! Lots of fresh apricots!! So we have a signature dish on the menu called spicy garlic shrimp served with an apricot butter. No it is not an apricot purée with cow's milk butter whisked in, if that's what you are thinking. We buy fresh apricots from our downtown farmers market, and cook them down to make a sweet sauce from a fruit you should only be able to get a few weeks out of the year here in the good old Midwest! 

That is a giant pot of our apricot butter in the making! We then can our apricot butter during these weeks in the peak of the season to lock in the flavor!

We are then able to offer this dish through out the whole year! Yes it is a lot of work but sooooo worth it! If you haven't tried this dish yet it is a must. One of my personal favs! Spicy garlic shrimp paired with this sweet apricot butter, house vanilla pickled fennel, mashed yukons, and pea shoots!
