Place two quenelles of shallot cream in a semi-bowl plate. Arrange shrimps and strawberries around them. Add remaining vinaigrette and small parsley leaves. Tip: Add thin slices of red baby radish for crunchiness and a slight kick.
The sweetness of the Japanese amaebi and strawberries harmonises with the vinaigrette and complements the freshness and minerality of Krug Rosé 27ème Édition, enlivening all of the Champagne’s complex flavours and balancing the textures of the dish.
