.
STEP BY STEP RECIPE:
- The first thing to do is to peel the onion and ginger, chop it and poach it in a pot with a couple of tablespoons of Aove and a pinch of salt for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and cut the carrots into small pieces. Add them to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes.
- Add the broth, half a teaspoon of salt and cook over medium heat until the carrots are soft, about 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, peel the pomegranate and reserve the grains. We also peel the shrimps in case we have not bought them already peeled (they sell very good ones already peeled and frozen).
- We pass everything into a blender or turmixer, add the juice of the two tangerines sy we grind it until it is very fine and creamy. If it is too thick, you can add a little more broth and if it is too runny, pour it all back into the pot and let it reduce until you have the consistency you like. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
- Season the peeled shrimps with salt and pepper. In a frying pan add a few drops of olive oil, heat and sauté for 1 or 2 minutes.
- Now all that remains is to plate it: put some cream in a deep dish, a couple or three shrimps in the center. Then we distribute on the plate some pomegranate seeds and capers, some chives, a little black pepper and a drizzle of Aove, and optionally, which is very tasty, some avocado cubes.
