Instructions
 

shrimp oil

  • Heat the oil in a large pan until very hot. Place the shrimp in the pan, remove from the heat and shake until the shrimp are pink. Let them cool in the oil, drain and keep the oil behind. We do not use the shrimps, but you can eat them.

Foam

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a pan. Add the chopped vegetables, garlic, peppercorns and coriander seeds and cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the vermouth and reduce over medium heat until syrupy. Add parsley, fish stock, whipping cream and milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cool off the heat. Strain it into a clean pan.

scallop tartare

  • Mix the scallops with the pickled lemon (or lemon juice), chives, walnut oil, vinegar and salt. Divide the mixture between the plates using a small ring mold (5 cm).

Finish up

  • Gently heat the foam and stir in the chopped chocolate until it melts. Add salt. Pour some oil on a plate and dip the scallop slices in it. Season them with salt and fry them briefly in a hot, dry pan. Place the scallop rounds, baked side up, on the tartare and garnish with caviar, pea shoots and chocolate shavings. Use a stick blender to froth the chocolate foam and pour the foam around the tartare. Drizzle some shrimp oil on the foam and serve immediately.
