Preparation time: 1 h 10

Cooking time: 1 h 10

Resting time : 1 h

Ravioli dough

250 g flour
½ tsp. salt
1 egg

Filling

15 prawns
1 lime
2 shallots
½ bunch coriander (or chervil)
1 tsp paprika Salt and pepper
Oil

Parsnip cream

4 parsnips
50 cl cream
salt and pepper

Shrimp bisque

Shrimp trimmings
½ onion 1 shallot
1 garlic clove
1 carrot
2 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
½ stalk celery
2 tbsp. tomato paste
50 g butter
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp. Espelette pepper
salt and pepper

1 - Prepare the dough: mix the flour, salt and egg, then add 14 cl of water. Knead a little at a time to obtain a homogeneous dough. Chill for 1 h.

2 - Prepare the stuffing: peel the shrimps, reserving the heads and shells for the bisque. Cut them into small pieces and add the chopped shallots, chopped coriander and lime zest. Remove the lime segments and add them to the preparation. Add salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside in a cool place.

3 - Make the parsnip cream: peel the parsnips and cook in a pot of boiling salted water for 25 min. Blend with the cream, salt and pepper until smooth.

4 - Prepare the shrimp bisque: brown the shrimp trimmings in a hot pan with the chopped onion, shallot and garlic. Sauté until nicely browned. Cut the carrot and celery into large cubes. Once browned, add the carrot, celery, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to the boil. Skim off any impurities. Add the Espelette pepper, paprika and tomato paste and cook for 15 min over a low heat. Blend and strain. Return to the heat and reduce by half. Finally, whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper.

5 - Assembling the ravioli: using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm. Cut into 9 cm squares. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the middle. Moisten the edges and press together to form a pyramid. Fry for 5 min at 180°C.

6 - Presentation: in each soup plate, pour the parsnip cream, place 2 ravioli, then pour a little bisque over the top. You can add a little of the remaining stuffing between the two ravioles and a few coriander leaves. Enjoy your meal.
