Directions
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and slice the white parts of the leeks into thin julienne strips.
-
Pat the sea bass fillets and shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Brush the grill grates with a little oil. Grill the sea bass fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side until just cooked through and flaky. Set aside.
-
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until pink and opaque. Remove from grill.
-
For the sauce, sauté the julienned leeks in a small saucepan with a splash of water until tender. Drain and discard the liquid.
-
Return the pan to low heat. Whisk in cold butter cubes one at a time, followed by a splash of soy sauce, until the sauce is emulsified and glossy.
-
Arrange the grilled fish and shrimp on serving plates. Drizzle generously with the warm Soy Beurre Blanc and serve immediately.
