About the recipe
This seafood dish brings back memories of Mary’s holiday as child catching shrimps, and then cooking them on the beach. Savour every one!
Recipe From
Ingredients
250g unsalted butter
1 fresh bay leaf
1 whole nutmeg, for grating
1 lemon
white pepper
400g brown shrimp
Method
- In a small pan, melt 200g of the butter on a low heat for 10 minutes, until it melts and separates. Carefully pour the golden ‘clarified’ liquid into a small jug, discarding the milky bits, and leave to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter with the bay, a good fine grating of nutmeg and lemon zest, and a pinch of freshly ground white pepper.
- Add the shrimp, then squeeze in the lemon juice and give it all a good stir. Cook for 1 minute, then spoon into a shallow serving bowl or individual pots and press down tightly with back of a spoon.
- Pour over the reserved clarified butter until completely covered, then chill for 2 hours or until set. Delicious served with freshly baked bread.
