Preparation
To prepare the shrimps with strawberry jam and lupin cream, wash the shrimps under running water, removing the head and shell. Then remove the internal intestine: cut the back of the shrimp with a knife and gently pull it out, trying not to break it.
Place the shrimps in a bowl, add the oregano and a tablespoon of strawberry jam. Mix with a spoon and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Shell the lupins and pour them into a bowl with the curry and rosemary. Start blending with the immersion blender and add the oil and water gradually.
Blend until a creamy and homogeneous (slightly grainy) mixture is obtained. Add salt and finally add the ricotta. Transfer the cream into a piping bag without a nozzle.
In a pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over moderate heat; then add the shrimps and sauté them. Add a pinch of salt and cook the shrimps for three minutes on each side, until they are pink and cooked.
Take two serving plates and form a heart in the center of each with the lupin cream.
Place the shrimps on the cream, placing them next to each other to form small hearts.
Garnish the plates by adding the confit cherry tomatoes and strawberry jam.
Serve and enjoy your meal!
