Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 300 Brussels sprouts
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 cup of cream
  • 2 tsp Café de Paris (spice)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 package of shrimp tails, approx. 250 – 300 g
  • 1 onion(s)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 dashes lemon juice
  • pine nuts

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 day 6 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 hours; Total time approx. 2 days 2 hours

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts and simmer gently in salted water for about 15-20 minutes (depending on size), until the sprouts reach the desired tenderness. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop an onion. Sauté in butter and caramelize with a little sugar until lightly browned. Fillet an orange and add the segments. Squeeze in the remaining juice. Lightly grate half the zest of the second orange and add the zest to the sauce. Squeeze the remaining juice and add the juice to the sauce. Add cream as needed and to taste. Add a squeeze of lemon juice – this will thicken the sauce when it comes to the boil. Season with Café de Paris seasoning, pepper, and salt. Add the shrimp tails, heat gently, and then add the still-warm Brussels sprouts. Toasted pine nuts also taste great with them – sprinkle over the top if desired.
