• Leeks are very dirty, so make sure to clean them thoroughly.
• When cleaning leeks, split them down the middle, making sure that the root is intact, and place under cold water to clean out any excess dirt.
• Garnish the leeks with ½ pound cooked shrimp or crabmeat, then drizzle on the sauce.
• Serve as a side with any grilled dish.
• Serve as a first course, sprinkled with chopped egg and garnished with red and yellow cherry tomatoes or tiny pear tomatoes.
