Roasted Shrimp Cream

Roasted Shrimp Cream: A smooth preparation with a creamy consistency. The name describes texture, not necessarily dairy content; a menu should say whether cream, coconut milk or another base is used.

Context

Shells can flavor a strained liquid, while edible shrimp meat needs separate attention to avoid toughness. A crisp must be made from an identified edible preparation, not loose sharp shell debris.

Example

A menu could use this preparation as a smooth accompaniment, with its base declared. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.

How THT uses it

At THT, this preparation is considered only when its taste and texture improve the actual dish; we adapt the portion and presentation to the guests.
