JACQUES PEPIN’S 
SHRIMP CUSHION ON WATERCRESS

Serves 4

  • 1 1⁄2 cups Shrimp Mousse

  • 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon

  • 16 shelled shrimp (about 3⁄4 of a pound)

  • 1 1⁄2 cups fresh bread crumbs

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Mix chopped tarragon with shrimp mousse. Place 4 shrimp tightly together on a plate. Cover with a layer of shrimp mousse. Sprinkle a layer of fresh bread crumbs on top. Turn the “cushion” over, cover the other side with mousse and bread crumbs. Repeat with the rest of the shrimp to make 4 cushions. Melt butter and oil in a large, non-stick pan. Heat and add the cushions. Cook gently for 3 minutes on each side. Serve on the watercress salad.

Jacques Pepin’s
Shrimp Cushion On
Watercress


Who better to create a recipe using Shrimp Mousse than the French chef extraordinaire Jacques Pepin? Just as many terrines do, Jacques encases whole shrimp in a mixture of shrimp mousse and fresh tarragon. He gently cooks each side in butter so that they are golden brown and serves them atop a refreshing watercress salad that has been dressed with red wine vinegar and walnut oil. So simple, so French.
