Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Processing the seafood:
Place the cooked shrimp and chopped crab sticks in a food processor or blender jar. Blend until you get a smooth, even paste. If you want a deeper pink color, add the two tablespoons of tomato sauce at this step.
2. Seasoning and flavoring:
Add a pinch of Bonsalt 0%, the white pepper, and the drops of lemon juice to the seafood mixture. Stir well so the flavors blend perfectly. The Bonsalt will enhance the natural sea flavor of the ingredients.
3. Whipping the cream and egg whites:
In separate bowls, whip the cream (which must be very cold) and the egg whites until stiff with a tiny pinch of Bonsalt to help stabilize them.
4. Folding in:
First, mix the seafood paste with the whipped cream using gentle motions. Finally, fold in the stiff egg whites very slowly, using a spatula and upward folding motions from bottom to top to keep the airiness and the "mousse" texture.
5. Chilling and serving:
Divide the mousse into crystal glasses or small bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving so it sets to the right consistency. Garnish with a whole shrimp or a little chopped chives.
This seafood mousse is an elegant, quick solution that will delight your guests. Go ahead and make it for your next dinner with friends and enjoy a gourmet, healthy bite!
