preparation

Servings: 4 - Preparation: 15 min - Cooking: 10 min
  • Remove shells from shrimps and set shells aside for the sauce.
  • Cut cheese in 4 quarter-inch slices. Randomly split the rind. In a non-stick skillet, brown one slice at a time. The cheese will melt and spread to form a slightly golden lace.
  • When hot, the cheese is difficult to handle. Remove skillet from heat and let cheese lace cool before shaping it. Do the same with all slices, then set aside.
  • Boil potatoes with skin. Once cooked, drain water, let cool and peel. Coarsely mash potatoes with a fork. Drizzle with butter, and add seasoning and basil. Shape four small patties and lightly brown in a non-stick skillet. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, pour 2 tsp. of olive oil and sauté shrimps for 2 minutes. Season, remove and keep warm.
  • Using the same skillet, add remaining oil and cook shallot, garlic and shrimp shells, then add white wine. Let half evaporate. Add vegetable juice. Cook 5-6 minutes and pass through strainer.
  • Place a piece of Saint-Médard lace on each plate, and add a potato patty and three sautéed shrimps on top.
