Crevettes grises (literally grey shrimp) is the species
Crangon crangon known as the brown shrimp in English, the species typically used for potting to make potted shrimp. This is the Breton equivalent of that dish. This recipe should be made at least a day (better 2 days) before serving so that the flavours have a chance to develop.
Ingredients:
200g of peeled brown shrimp
125g of salted butter
Freshly-ground black Pepper
Method:
Coarsely chop 125g of the shrimp. Put in a bowl and mix with the softened butter using a fork.
Place in the refrigerator and keep for at least one night (two is best). Serve on toasted bread with the remaining shrimp scattered over. Garnish with a little freshly-ground black pepper.
