Ingredients

200g , peeled shrimp
1 diced ripe mango
1 handful of parsley or mint
2 tablespoons of crème fraîche
200g of peas
a few mint or parsley leaves
Juice of half a lime
Salt, pepper
Espelette pepper or smoked paprika (optional)
a few sesame seeds (optional)

Preparation

1
Prepare the pea puree: Cook the peas in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 5 to 10 minutes, until tender.
2
Drain them and rinse them under cold water to set their bright green color.
3
Blend them with the crème fraîche and a handful of parsley or mint until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
4
Prepare the shrimp: If the shrimp are raw, steam them or sauté them in a pan with a drizzle of oil for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. If they are already cooked, proceed directly to the next step.
5
Cut them into medium-sized pieces. Add a touch of lime juice, salt, pepper, and Espelette pepper or smoked paprika.
6
Prepare the mango: Peel the mango and cut it into small, even cubes.
7
Assemble the tartare: In a ring mold, place a layer of pea purée (about 1 cm thick). Then add a layer of diced mango, pressing down lightly so the tartare retains its structure. Finish with a layer of shrimp pieces. Carefully remove the ring mold and repeat for each plate.
8
Decorate and serve: Garnish the tartare with a few fresh mint leaves and sesame seeds to add a touch of elegance and extra freshness.
9
Serve as a starter or light meal, accompanied by a drizzle of olive oil or a hint of balsamic vinegar to enhance the flavors.
