Description

This elegant Gamberi Alla Pasquale transforms simple shrimp into a sophisticated party appetizer. The star of the dish is the unique sauce, which combines the brightness of fresh lemon juice and sweet, finely chopped apple with the depth of tomato paste and a splash of brandy. Lightly whipped cream is folded in to create a luxurious, tangy dressing that clings to the shrimp. Served chilled over crisp shredded lettuce in cocktail glasses, this dish offers a refreshing balance of sweet, savory, and citrusy notes. It is perfect for summer gatherings, holiday parties, or as a light, refreshing starter before a heavier meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, then drain and allow them to cool completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, lemon juice, brandy, and finely chopped apple.
  3. Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the apple-lemon mixture until well combined.
  5. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Place a generous amount of shredded lettuce in the bottom of four large cocktail glasses or serving bowls.
  7. Stand the chilled shrimp upright around the edges of the glasses, resting on the lettuce.
  8. Spoon the special lemon sauce into the center of each glass, surrounding the shrimp.
  9. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
