How can I scale the servings?

Use the portion selector near the recipe title. All ingredient amounts adjust instantly so you can cook for one or for a crowd without mental math.

Do you suggest ingredient swaps?

Seasonal swap ideas and substitutions are highlighted in the step-by-step instructions, so you can use what is ripe in your kitchen garden or market.

Can I prepare parts of the recipe ahead?

Look for make-ahead notes in the steps. Many sauces, doughs and roasted vegetables can be prepared earlier and finished just before serving.

Preparation of Shrimp cocktail

Shrimps

4 kg Shrimps
10 Lemons

Marinate 4 kg Shrimps with the juice from 10 Lemons. If using raw shrimps (recognizable by their blue color), boil them briefly in salted water. When buying shrimps, you should pay attention to their origin for ecological reasons. I recommend wild-caught shrimps. If you want to be on the safe side, you can use native crayfish, but they are harder to come by.

Cocktail sauce

800 ml Water
800 ml Ketchup
1 L Mayonnaise
200 ml Vinegar
40 ml Cognac
40 ml Horseradish
Pepper

Slowly stir 800 ml Water and 200 ml Vinegar into 1 L Mayonnaise. Stir in 800 ml Ketchup. Add 40 ml Cognac, 40 ml Horseradish and Pepper. Stir until smooth.

Vegetables & apple

20 apples
500 g Peas
40 leaves Salad

Cut 20 apples into small cubes. Wash 40 leaves Salad and cut into strips. 500 g Peas defrost.

Serving

First arrange the salad, then the apples and peas and finally the shrimps on plates or in bowls. Pour over the cocktail sauce.
