Pomegranate Shrimp Sauté with Frisée

Pomegranate juice is now readily available in groceries. But it is almost just as easy to buy some large dark red heavy pomegranates and juice them yourself, extracting the beautiful seeds, to make similar dishes or new ones.

The flavor of pomegranate and the beauty of its seeds go well in any part of a meal. The shrimp dish here, a lovely first course, uses plenty of spice but is not, as one might think, hot. The pomegranate provides color, crispness, and fresh flavor.
