Sauce

  • Peel the shrimp, reserve the shells, and set the shrimp aside in the refrigerator.
  • Cut the vegetables into coarse cubes, and sauté them in rapeseed oil in a saucepan.

  • Pour in white wine, bring to a boil, and stir in tomato paste.

  • Strain the sauce and simmer it down to a thicker consistency for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Blend the sauce until smooth with an immersion blender or in a food processor.
  • Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Keep the sauce warm gently, and foam it up with an immersion blender right before serving.

Salad

  • Mix the tomato cubes with basil, shrimp, and olive oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
