By Don Cucho.
Pantagruel Restaurant Chef

Ingredients

  • 2kg. Shrimps.
  • 3 tablespoons oil.
  • 1 large chopped onion.
  • 2 chopped garlic cloves.
  • ½ kg. peeled tomatoes , seedless (mashed)
  • 3 tablespoons ground "panca" hot pepper (replace it with hot paprika )
  • 1 ½ lt. snails or white fish broth .
  • 1cup white wine.
  • ½ shrimps extract (see preparation procedure)
  • ½ kg peas.
  • ¼ kg. fresh broad beans.
  • 6 starchy potatoes.
  • 2 corn kernels.
  • ¾ can milk(or milk cream )
  • 150gr. good fresh fish.
  • Fresh herbs (marigold, mint)
  • 6 poached eggs.

Preparation

  • Peel shrimps, keep only the tails. In the head lies the shrimp’s gill that gives a very good taste to our recipe.
  • Scoop the head out and saute the rest in butter. Boil it with water and white wine. Then, blend and strain it to get at least 2 cups of shrimp’s extract.
  • This extract is mixed with gill, dissolving it completely. Strain again and set aside.
  • Make a dressing with oil, onion garlic, tomatoes and hot pepper. Fry a bit before adding broth and shrimps extract. Leave it boil and keep on adding vegetables (peas, potatoes, corn and broad beans). Leave it cook.
  • 2 minutes before serving, add the shrimps tails, milk and herbs. Serve it immediately. Garnish it with sliced hot pepper, feta cheese and poached eggs ( boiled in water)
