1 bunch of green asparagus
2 l well salted water
2 tbs fine chopped chive
2 tbs extra virgin oil
Maldon salt
Lime and chilli mayonnaise:
2 dl mayonnaise
Red chilli, as much as you want
Fresh squeezed limejuice and raked peel from lime
200g large, fresh, cleaned shrimps
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
3 tbs lime juice
Black pepper

Boil lots of water with a lot of salt. Peel the asparagus from the top down, and start a bit below the top. start by cutting of the lowest part of the asparagus, squeeze the stalk and cut it where you can feel the texture is changing from soft to hard. Boil the asparagus for 3-5 minutes. Cool quickly in cold running water.

Make the mayonnaise your self or buy your favourite and flavour it with chilli and lime juice. Split the chilli in two and remove the seeds. Cut of a small piece and taste it to see how much to add. Chop the chilli, and add to the mayonnaise. Add about ½ ts of lime peel and lime juice until the mayonnaise is sour and fresh. The Mayonnais should be lightly fluid, so feel free to add water if needed.


Peel the shrimps well and marinate them with olive oil, lime juice and fresh pepper before serving. Turn the asparagus in chive with olive oil and a bit of Maldon salt. Put this on a serving plate. Top with the shrimps and the mayonnaise, you may serve with a slice of toast with olive oil on the side.

- have a great evening!
