Gently fold the whipped cream into the tomato-brandy mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
5
Fold in the finely chopped apple and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently to maintain the airy texture.

Divide the shredded lettuce among four cocktail glasses, pressing down lightly to form a base.

Spoon the creamy sauce into the center of each glass, covering the base of the shrimp.

Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.

Note

For best results, use large or jumbo shrimp for a more impressive presentation.

The sauce can be prepared up to 2 hours in advance. Store in the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir before serving.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the amount of heavy cream or reduce the lemon juice slightly.

Substitute apple with finely diced celery or cucumber for a different crunch profile.

Ensure shrimp are fully cooked but not overcooked to maintain tenderness.
