Every now and then I like to experiment and break the mold to try new flavors and particular combinations, such as prawns and oranges.
INGREDIANTS
SHRIMP
1. 24 Shrimps
2. to taste Salt
3. to taste White pepper
4. qb Extra virgin olive oil
ORANGE MAYONNAISE
1. 2 yolks
2. 100 g Extra virgin olive oil
3. 100 g Seed oil
4. to taste Salt
5. to taste White pepper
6. 1 small glass Orange juice
ORANGE SAUCE
1. 3 Oranges
2. 1 shot Brandy
3. to taste Salt
4 20 g Butter
HOW TO PREPARE ORANGE MAYONNAISE
1. First prepare the mayonnaise. In a bowl, collect the egg yolks, flavor them with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Squeeze the orange and keep the juice. Begin to pour the oil drop by drop (both types) mixing the ingredients with a small whisk or a wooden spoon, waiting for it to be well incorporated before adding more. As soon as the mixture thickens, dilute it with the orange juice and continue alternating oil and juice until exhaustion. You will need to get a well whipped sauce.
2. Now you can proceed with cooking the prawns (previously shelled). In a pan, heat a little extra virgin olive oil and sear the prawns on both sides. Once ready, place them on a plate and leave the pan on the fire that you will need to prepare the orange sauce.
3. In the still hot pan, melt a knob of butter. Once melted, blend with the brandy. This operation will help to "collect" all the cooking juices of the prawns. Once all the alcoholic part has evaporated, add the orange juice and let it reduce.
4. Now we can move on to the dish. Place the prawns, cover the tails with the orange sauce and decorate the dish with alternating drops of mayonnaise.
