linguine
with king prawns,
saffron sauce and
sea lavender pesto
The sea lavender pesto. Wash the sea
lavender thoroughly and remove the stalks.
Chop the leaves into strips and stir fry them in
some butter. Make a classic pesto with basil,
garlic, roasted pine nuts, Parmesan and olive
oil. Mix with the fried sea lavender strips.
The saffron sauce. Take equal amounts of
highly reduced fish stock and cream. Add a
glass of dry rosé wine and a generous splash of
white balsamic vinegar. Let it boil down. Season
with salt, pepper, saffron threads and a
tablespoon of turmeric to enhance the colour.
Thicken the sauce if desired.
The king prawns. Keep one nicely cooked
piece of it per plate. Cut off the blades and legs.
Cut open the back and remove the intestinal
tract. Strip the rest of the prawns of their armor
and remove the intestinal tracts as well.
Heat a few tablespoons of the pesto in a pan
with an extra splash of olive oil and fry the
peeled king prawns in it.
Other preparations. Cook the linguine
according to the package instructions or make
your own pasta. Cut a few cherry tomatoes in
half. Make Parmesan shavings. Fry a few
beautiful sea lavender leaves very briefly in a
spoonful of olive oil. Let it drain. Remove a few
leaves of washed flat-leaf parsley from their
stems.
On the dinner plate. Mix the pasta with the
prawns. Pour a mirror saffron sauce onto
warmed up dinner plates. Place a not too large
amount of rolled up linguine with a few shrimps
on top. Place a tablespoon of warm pesto on
top.
Finish according to your own inspiration with
the cherry tomatoes, fried sea lavender, parsley
and Parmesan shavings.
