Title: Creme de Crevettes / Shrimp&Cream&Brandy Soup from Flande
Yield: 4 servings
500 g Shrimps (Fresh, with shells, and the bigger the better)
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Stick celery, finely chopped

3 Large tomatoes, peeled and seeded
2 dl Cream
1 Egg yolk
1 l Water
2 Glasses dry white wine
1 Small glass brandy
Bouquet garni (thyme, bay
-leaf, 2 stalks parsley,
-clove of garlic)
60 g Butter
30 g Flour
Melt 30 g of butter in a large saucepan and gently cook the finely
chopped vegetables over a low heat, without browning, for about 10
minutes. Shell the shrimps, reserving the shells and heads. Add the
shells and heads of shrimps to the vegetables, pour a liter of hot
water into the saucepan, add the bouquet garni and tomatoes. Season
with pepper, but no salt at this stage, as the shrimp heads and
shells may be salty enough. -- Cover and simmer gently for one hour.
Pour the stock through a sieve, pressing the vegetables and shells
with a wooden spoon to extract all the juice. Melt the rest of the
butter in the saucepan, add the flour and make a roux. Stirring
constantly, add the vegetable and shrimp stock in a steady stream and
bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 15 minutes. Beat the egg yolk
and cream together. Away from the heat, stir in the egg and cream
mixture. Add the shrimps and brandy. Return the saucepan to a
*very* low heat, stir gently until the soup thickens slightly and the shrimps
are ooked (this should take just 2-3 minutes). DON'T let the soup boil, or it may curdle.
