Can I use regular shrimp instead of Red Prawns?

Yes, but Red Prawns have a unique, sweet flavor and firm texture that make this dish special.

Where can I buy Ibiza herbs from Pit Pit?

At specialized delicatessen shops or through the Pit Pit webshop.

What if I can't find red peppercorns?

Use pink pepper or a pinch of chili flakes as an alternative.

Can I replace the pistachios?

Roasted almonds or pine nuts are also delicious alternatives.

How do I make capers crispy?

Let them drain well, pat dry, and fry in hot olive oil until they pop. Let drain on paper towels.

Easy

When I'm in Ibiza, I definitely have to pass by those markets. You know, those colorful stalls full of fragrant herbs, juicy citrus, and... the red gold: Red prawns. Fresher than fresh. I love to keep them pure. Flattened into a fine carpaccio, with a fresh orange dressing, crispy capers, and crunchy pistachios on top. A sunny plate of Ibiza, hassle-free, pure flavor.

Replace the Red Prawns with thinly sliced red beet or kohlrabi, marinated in orange or citrus juice. Finish with the same orange dressing, pistachios, and crispy capers. Optionally, add some sumac for an extra fresh touch.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Prepare the shrimp Peel the red shrimp completely. Arrange them in a circular shape on a board between two sheets of baking paper. Gently flatten with a rolling pin or wine bottle until very thin. Remove the top sheet of baking paper and carefully slide the carpaccio onto plates.
Finish the carpaccio Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of coarse salt. Sprinkle the crushed red peppercorns and coarsely chopped pistachios over the carpaccio.
Make the dressing Grate the orange zest and squeeze out the juice. Mix both with the Ibiza herbs and extra olive oil to taste. Spoon this fresh dressing over the carpaccio.
Final touch Just before serving, finish with the crispy capers for extra crunch.

Tips

Use only super fresh Red Prawns – ask your fishmonger for top quality.
Let the capers drain well on kitchen paper after frying for extra crispy texture.
Serve ice cold, possibly on chilled plates.
