Michèle’s Tip

The shrimps are raw but they are “cooked” by the citrus and the vinegar. The very fragrant shrimps will pair very well with the acidity of the raspberries.

METHOD

• Prepare at least 6 hours before serving.
• Peel, wash and dry the shrimps.
• Cut them in half lengthwise.
• Set the shrimps on a dish.
• Sprinkle with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
• In a bowl, mix the juice of one lime with the rice sushi vinegar.
• Slowly pour over the shrimps.
• Grate ginger over.
• Wrap the dish in plastic wrap.
• Set in the fridge for 6 hours.
• Display the shrimp on 2 plates.
• Add some more pepper, and the zest of the second lime.
• Add some more olive oil.
• Cut the coriander, mint and dill over the plates.
• Finish with the raspberries on top.
