Shrimp with spicy ginger-garlic sauce

4 servings

60 minutes

Ginger, garlic, parsley, soy sauce and white wine - that degree of exoticism to which we have already become accustomed. Vladimir Sidorov, chef of the restaurant "Cheretto More", assembles his own puzzle from these elements , but the main thing is still the Argentine shrimp the size of a langoustine, and if you come across them, you need to know how to serve them in all their glory. Cooking these shrimp giants is a pleasure, but it is important not to overdo it and not to overload the sweet meat with an unnecessary heap of spices. Here the balance is maintained, and surrounded by a salty-hot-spicy sauce with wine notes and tart freshness of greenery, the shrimp show all the best in themselves.
