EQUIPEMENTS

INGREDIENTS 

  • 200 g (7 oz) of raw or cooked peeled shrimp
  • 1 small perfectly ripe avocado
  • 2 kiwis
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 30 g (1 oz or 2 generous tablespoons) pomegranate seeds
  • A large pinch of black pepper
  • 2 sprigs of parsley chopped

Optional

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • A pinch of salt
  • A small dash the tip of a teaspoon of Tabasco

PREPARATION

  • If you're using fresh or frozen raw shrimp, bring a small amount of water to the boil to cover the shrimp. When the water begins to boil, add the shrimp and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Drain in a colander and leave to cool before cutting into two or 3 pieces.
  • Peel and pit the avocado, then cut into small cubes. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent it from darkening.
  • Peel the kiwis and dice finely.
  • Finely chop the parsley.
  • Mix everything in a bowl, adding a bit of pepper and half of the chopped parsley. You can add olive oil, a pinch of salt and Tabasco if you like.
  • Add the pomegranate seeds, then mix before filling the shot glasses, taking care not to smudge the edges.
  • Garnish the top of each shot glass with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
  • Refrigerate for at least half an hour or until ready to serve.
