bisque of North Sea prawns
Peel a good portion of grey shrimps and keep cool. Keep the waste. Make a stock of an equal portion of unpeeled shrimps with the waste of peeled, cleaned and cut carrots, leek, celery and onion. Add some bay leaf and a glass of white wine. Leave to cook for at least half an hour.
In the meantime, mix the peeled shrimps with a bottle of cream to a very fine creamy mass. Keep a few shrimps for decoration. Press the stock through a sieve, and that literally: as much of the cooking liquid as possible must be squeezed out of the vegetables and shrimps. Let the sieved stock boil down for another 15 minutes and then add the creamy shrimp mixture. Mix well, season further with a pinch of cayenne pepper and a generous splash of Cognac.
