Method
Preparation: 30 minutes
- Peel the shrimps. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil. Finely chop the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the shrimp skins and fry for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika powder. Pour in 600 ml of water and bring to the boil with some seasonings (e.g. peppercorns, bay leaf or thyme).
- Turn the heat to low and let the stock steep for 10 minutes and reduce to 1/4. Strain the shrimp stock.
- Prepare the gratins for 10 minutes according to the instructions on the packaging, but still soft enough to form into quenelles.
- In the blender, make a mayonnaise of the egg, mustard, juice of 1/2 lime and sunflower oil. Season the mayonnaise with shrimp stock and salt.
- Finely chop the coriander. Whisk a dressing of the passion fruit flesh, 2 tablespoons of blood orange juice and the coriander. Season with lime juice.
- Cut the kumquats and strawberries into thin slices. Also cut the avocado into slices. Halve the shrimps lengthwise.
- Shape 12 quenelles of the potato gratin. Divide the dressing with the shiso leaves over 4 plates. Place the quenelles on top, with another 1-2 thin slices of avocado on top.
- Brush the shrimps thinly with the shrimp mayonnaise and place them on top of the avocado. Garnish the nigiri with the strawberries, the kumquats and the edible flowers.
Tip: Would you rather not use raw shrimp? Then cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the warm stock.
