Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Remoulade

    Peel and dice the celery root, then boil until tender. Drain and cool. In a bowl, mix the cooled celery root with mayonnaise, Calabrian chili paste, fines herbes, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Quince

    Peel, core, and slice the quince. Poach the slices in water with a little sugar until tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, season the flour with salt and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Dredge the shrimp in flour, dip in the egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches, frying until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the crispy shrimp, drizzle with paprika dulce, and garnish with poached quince and celery hearts. Serve with the celery root remoulade on the side.
