| Spanish red prawns | two |
| Artichokes | two |
| Salmon roe | 30g |
| Lemon | one half |
| Ricca salad | 10g |
| Chervil | to taste |
| Extra-virgin olive oil | |
Preparation
-
Wash the prawns, remove heads, tails and shells then use a toothpick to scrape out the black intestine. Cut into thin slices and place on cling film. Pour on a little olive oil, add some salt and then cover with another layer of cling film. Crush the prawns into a paste then remove from the cling film and separate into two portions
-
Wash the artichokes and cut the tops off to make it easier to remove the hard outer leaves. Use a soupspoon to scoop out the centres and cut the stems short. Remove the skin from the stems then cut into thin slices. Mix in fresh lemon juice and olive oil then divide into two portions to go on top of the prawn paste.
-
Decorate the artichokes with salmon roe, riccia salad and chervil then top with a little olive oil over as seasoning to complete.
