How to prepare Shrimp Tartare with Caramelized Citrus Zest

To prepare the shrimp tartare with caramelized citrus zest, first, take care of cleaning the shrimp. Shell them 1 and remove the black vein located on the back 2. Continue this way until they are all done 3

Chop the shrimp finely with a knife 4. Transfer them to a bowl 5. In the meantime, use a vegetable peeler to take the peel from the lemon and the orange 6.

Squeeze the juice from both 7 and strain it directly into the tartare 8. Add a pinch of salt 9.

Mix well 10, cover with plastic wrap 11, and transfer to the refrigerator. Now proceed to caramelize the citrus zest. In a small pot, pour the water and sugar 12.

Add a few drops of lemon juice 13 and bring to a boil. Then add the zest 14 and cook until the water has evaporated and they are caramelized 15.

Take the tartare back, season it with a drizzle of oil 16, and plate it using a round mold. Place the caramelized zest on top 17 and serve it 18.

How to store

We recommend serving the tartare immediately.
