Method

  1. To make the Shrimp Tartare, start with the shellfish: remove the shells, heads, legs and the black vein along the back, then cut the shrimp into small pieces and soak them in a bowl with the strained juice of one mandarin.
  2. Then add a few small mint leaves, some pink peppercorns and salt to taste, and gently mix everything with a spoon. Using a round pastry ring, plate your Shrimp Tartare and put it in the fridge with the ring still on: let it rest for at least twenty minutes before removing the ring and serving.
