A stunningly good recipe from a surprise source

Went to Costco the other day to pick up some lox.  On the way out they were giving away cookbooks.  Found several really interesting recipes which I hocked Barb about trying.  Tonight she made this truly delicious dish.

Fennel and garlic shrimp.  Called for U-15s.  Get a fennel bulb with the fronds.  The tablespoon of Pernod added a great flavor.  We used chervil instead of parsley because we had some outside and it made sense. 

Served with roasted zucchini and tomatoes.

Any Pastis will do.  They always call it Pernod because it's the most popular Pastis.
