Ingredients
  

  • 200 g peeled pink shrimp (cooked and chilled)
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese (softened)
  • 150 ml heavy cream
  • 100 g ladyfinger biscuits (Savoiardi)
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Equipment

  • Whisk or electric hand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Shallow dish for dipping
  • Microplane or fine grater for zesting

Method
 

  1. Whip mascarpone and heavy cream in a cold mixing bowl until smooth and thick.
  2. Zest the lemon and then juice it, adding both to the cream mixture along with Dijon mustard; season with salt and pepper.
  3. Gently fold in the shrimp and most of the chives, reserving some for garnish.
  4. In a shallow dish, mix water with lemon juice. Quickly dip ladyfinger biscuits in the mixture and lay them in the bottom of the serving dish.
  5. Spoon half of the shrimp and cream mixture over the ladyfingers and spread it gently.
  6. Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers.
  7. Use the remaining shrimp cream to cover the second layer, smoothing the top.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is better) before serving, then garnish with reserved chives.

Notes

Use the freshest shrimp for the best flavor. Don't skip the chilling time; it's crucial for the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning to taste; a little extra lemon can brighten things up! For personal touches, serve in individual glasses or small jars and garnish creatively with shrimp and herbs.
