PREPARATION.

01.

Shrimp stock

Grill shrimp in oven at 220°C for about 15 minutes with a little olive oil. Sweat the diced vegetables and herbs until golden, add shrimp and let stew. Deglaze with white wine and reduce. Cover with water, blend with an immersion blender and cook for 45 minutes. Let flavors infuse for 1 hour, then pass through a chinois strainer. Clarify if necessary, then adjust seasoning.

02.

Shrimp jelly

Heat broth, add leaf gelatin which you have previously soaked in ice water, then place thin layer of jelly on bottom of each plate and let set in fridge.

03.

Marinated shrimp and fried shrimp heads

Shell shrimps and set heads aside. When ready to serve, marinate shrimp with lemon vinaigrette and season with fleur de sel and Espelette pepper. Remove shells from shrimp heads, lay them out on absorbent paper and fry at 160°C until they stop boiling.

Dito Sama’s recommendations:

Use a Dito Sama PREP4YOU or K55 food processor to blend the shrimp heads and shells to obtain the best shrimp stock. Use the micro-serrated blades to extract all the flavor.

Start process using pulse function, to break down largest pieces. Then work your way up to maximum speed.
