Preparation method

How do you make this?

Asparagus: Peel the white asparagus from under the tip downwards and cut the ends evenly.

The green ones do not need to be peeled, but remove the tough triangular ends and cut off the bottom.

Cook the white asparagus for 4 minutes in plenty of boiling salted water and add the green asparagus at the last moment. Then place them on a plate covered with a towel.

Mousseline sauce: Place a saucepan with water and a glass bowl in it on the heat.

The bottom of the bowl should touch the water.

Add the yolks, water, pepper, salt, and lemon juice and whisk together.

Turn on the heat and let it simmer lightly.

Whisk until you get a firm foam.

Now add the farmhouse butter piece by piece.

Once everything is whipped fluffy, taste and season with pepper and salt if necessary.

Now you have a Hollandaise sauce; whisk in the tablespoon of whipped cream and you have mousseline sauce.

Mix the finely chopped fresh herbs into the sauce.

Plate the asparagus, drizzle the mousseline sauce over it, and finish with the shrimp and a few sprigs of fresh herbs.
