There are as many recipes for SHRIMP REMOULADE as there are for gumbo,
and each creole cook claims to have the authentic one.  Don't believe
them- THIS IS IT!!  My mother made this when I was a child, and I loved
it even then. 
There are a couple of tricks.  Mama always peeled the raw shrimp, made
the sauce, then placed the shrimp in a small pan and cooked them
covered, no liquid, no seasonings, stirring once or twice.  The time you
cook depends on the size of the shrimp, maybe 5-8 minutes, but for
goodness' sake, make sure they're cooked.  This undercooking of shrimp
is not an old New Orleans thing!!  Save the liquid to add to gumbo, etc.
It can be frozen till you need it.  Place the warm shrimp in a bowl, and
pour on the sauce.
The lettuce should be iceberg, shredded with a knife.  This is the only
time lettuce came in contact with a knife in my house.  It's
traditional, again, an old New Orleans thing.
Mix all but last three ingredients, then add oil, beating well  (blender
will work).  Stir in green onions and celery. Pour over cooked shrimp
and allow to marinate at least  4-5 hours. It only gets better as it
stands.  Serve cold on lettuce.     
(I never remember to write down how much shrimp I use.  I think  2-4
pounds, headless, which is then peeled and cooked. It sort of depends on
what I have.)  No matter how much I use it always seems right.  The
sauce is great for dunking french bread.

              Roasted Onions Agrodolce (Al Forno Restaurant)
Recipe By     : Chef-Owners Johanne Killeen & Geroge Germon, Al Forno,
Serving Size  : 6    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Vegetables                       Volume 2, Nov. '98
                Onions
  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   5      large         red onions
     1/3  cup           virgin olive oil PLUS
   1      tablespoon    virgin olive oil
     1/2  cup           balsamic vinegar
   1      teaspoon      kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 450 F.
Slice the tops off the onions and peel them, keeping the root ends
intact. Place the onion wedges cut side down on a board. Slice them in half
vertically through the root. Cut each half into 4 wedges, taking care to
cut each piece through the root, which will keep the wedges intact.
Place the onions in one layer in a 9x12 inch baking dish. Brush them
with the olive oil, drizzle with the balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with salt,
and cover with foil.
Bake the onions for 45 minutes, uncover, and bake for an additional 5
minutes until they are soft and the juices have caramelized.
Serves 6 as a vegetable accompaniment or 12 as part of antipasto.
Chefs Johanne Killeen and George Germon are married and run a 
restaurant called "Al Forno" in Providence, RI. Much of the food they
serve involves grilling as George has a passion for making fires and cooking
food on them. Many of their recipe ideas are brought back from Tuscany.
This recipe is from their book  Cucina Simpatica, Robust Trattoria
Cooking, Harper Collins ISBN 0 06 016119 1
