Preparation
- Cauliflower foam
In a pan put the chopped onion, 50 g of butter, the florets (keep 8 to one side for the next step), and the cauliflower heart and add somewater and then finally Pristine Hulalà Gran Cucina. Cook well for 15/20 minutes Mix 600 g of previously cooked cauliflower with 400 ml of cooking water, the rest of the butter and the fine salt. Strain with a strainer and 750 g into a 1 litre syphon. Refrigerate for two hours. Heat for 10 minutes with the immersion circulator before serving and from time to time for a few minutes during service. - Cauliflower florets
Boil the cauliflower florets that have been set aside for 3 minutes. Blast-chill immediately and refrigerate. Sauté them just before finishing the dish in the spicy bread butter. - Red prawns
Clean 3 prawns per person, without removing the head underneath. Just before serving, fry the antennae in a fryer at 180°C. The 3 bodies will be soaked in the prawn butter (see the step below), once again just before serving. - Prawn butter
Brown the shells, cover with melted butter, cook on the edge of a fry top for 3 hours. Strain. Bring to the boil and skim. - Brioche crumbs and spicy butter
Fry the pain d’épices in a pan with the melted butter. Fry on a high heat without toasting, until the pain d'épices crumbles, continuing to beat it, or with the help of a fork. - Prawn sauce with vin santo
Brown the prawn heads or scraps with oil. Add the paprika and onion. Deglaze with the vin santo, cook on the edge of a fry top for 30 minutes, add
Pristine Hulalà Gran Cucina, bring to the boil and pass through a conical sieve. Season with salt and ground pepper to taste if necessary. Heat through before serving on the edge of a fry top. - Shellfish sheets
Reduce the bisque on the heat, add the rehydrated gelatin and bake at 70°C for approx. 2 hours. Soft sheets will form that will be used to decorate the dish. - Finish
Sauté the florets in the spicy bread butter. In a pasta bowl place a low, wide mould. Arrange two sautéed cauliflower florets and the bodies of three glazed prawns. Cover with a fine layer of lukewarm foam. Streak it with some prawn butter. Dust with the toasted pain d'épices crumbs. Mix the prawn and vin santo sauce with a Bamix to make it slightly foamy, and pour a spoonful and a half in a line around the edge. Carefully remove the mould and garnish with 2 fried heads and shellfish leaves.
An extra touch
This recipe calls for Vinsanto, which is a sweet wine. All kinds can be used, except ones that are too sweet: you don't want to alter the dish's balance.
