How To Make shrimp martini with robuchon mashed potatoes

  • 1
    In a large pot, add unpeeled potatoes and cover with cold water up to 2-inches above. Add coarse sea salt and bring it to a boil. Cook until tender, about 25 minutes.
  • 2
    Drain them well and peel them while they’re still hot. Pass them through a potato ricer or a food mill into the same pot they were boiled in earlier.
  • 3
    Place the pot back on the burner and set the heat on low.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add a drop of water which will prevent the milk from boiling over. Pour in the milk and warm it up on medium heat.
  • 5
    Add 4 tablespoons of butter at a time to the potatoes and stir until almost incorporated before adding some more, stirring very well between each addition.
  • 6
    Using a whisk, combine the liquid into the mixture and continue doing this until all incorporated. Season with salt and whisk to blend.
  • 7
    To serve, spoon the mashed potatoes into martini glasses and place 6 cold poached shrimp evenly around the glass.
