Gastronomy

Chef(s) Michel Nadeau (Auberge La Camarine) offer(s) you the following appetizer:

Shrimp Skillet with Chocolate and Basil

Ingredients:

  • 12 shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • A little bit of olive oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper
  • Espelette pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp of finely chopped French shallots
  • 4 oz of red Port wine
  • 8 oz of 35% cream
  • 2 tsp of basil pesto
  • 2 oz of 64% dark chocolate

Method:

  • Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and Espelette pepper
  • Sauté the shrimp in very hot olive oil; cook for 2 minutes on each side
  • Pour out the excess oil and deglaze with the Port
  • Remove the shrimp and keep warm
  • Add the cream and pesto
  • Reduce for a minute or two to your desired consistency; keep in mind that the chocolate will have a binding effect
  • Add the dark chocolate and let it melt, stirring constantly. Taste and adjust seasoning. A slightly spicy taste should remain present on the tongue due to the Espelette pepper.
  • Immediately remove from heat.
  • Place three shrimp per person on a warm plate and top each shrimp with a bit of sauce. The shrimp may be served with a rice crepe, cut into four and lightly fried in oil to give it a slightly rounded shape.
