Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups fresh fiddleheads
12 oz spaghettini or 12 oz linguine
2 tbsp butter
1 cup sliced leek, white and pale green parts
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup whipping cream
1 lb uncooked shrimp, shelled
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or 2 tbsp basil

Directions:

Rub brown papery scales off of fiddleheads and rinse several times under cold running water. Drain well and trim off ends. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta and return to boil. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Remove from heat and drain, reserving about 1 cup (250 mL) of the cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot.
Meanwhile, melt butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add leeks and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until leeks are softened. Add fiddleheads and cook for about 3 minutes or until fiddleheads start to turn bright green. Pour in wine and scrape up any brown bits stuck to pan and boil until reduced by a little more than half.
Stir cream into pan and bring to boil. Boil gently until reduced, about 5 - 8 minutes. Add shrimp and simmer, stirring, just until cooked through and fiddleheads are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over drained pasta, toss gently and add enough of the reserved cooking liquid to thin as necessary. Serve sprinkled with chives.
