I got this one from the Minimalist's Wednesday column in the NY Times.  
It's
delicious!


Recipe: Leeks With Ginger and Shrimp

Time: 30 minutes
4 large leeks, about 3 pounds, chopped 
1 1/2 to 2 pounds peeled shrimp 
1/4 cup minced ginger 
Pepper 
1 tablespoon good stock, dry sherry or soy sauce, optional. 

1. Heat a preferably nonstick pan, and turn heat to high. When a bit of
smoke appears, add the leeks, all at once. Let sit for a couple of 
minutes, then cook, stirring only occasionally, for about 10 minutes. When the 
leeks dry out and begin to brown, remove them from the pan and set aside. 

2. With the heat still on high, add the remaining oil to the pan,
immediately followed by the shrimp. Sprinkle with the ginger. Cook for 
about a minute, then stir. Cook, stirring every minute or so, until the 
shrimp are almost all pink, about 5 minutes. Add the leeks, along with some salt 
and pepper. When the shrimp are done (no traces of gray will remain), stir 
in the liquid if desired, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.
