Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Fresh morels can be substituted with dried ones: soak them for an hour in boiling water (700 ml of water for 60 grams of mushrooms) with a lid on, and then use some of the soaking liquid in your preparation.
Step 2
Finely chop 50 grams of fresh mushrooms and shallots. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 15 grams of butter and sauté one-third of the chopped onions with minced garlic for a minute.
Step 3
Add the chopped mushrooms, sprinkle with thyme, and cook for two minutes. If the morels were dried, pour a little of the soaking water into the skillet and increase the heat to evaporate almost all the liquid.
Step 4
After eight minutes, transfer the onions and mushrooms to a bowl, mix in the remaining butter, season with salt and pepper, stir again, and let cool.
Step 5
Cut the shrimp shells along the back, remove the digestive tract, then make a cut in the shrimp itself and lay them out shell side down on a baking tray.
Step 6
Sauté the remaining shallots in 30 grams of mushroom oil until golden brown, then add the previously set aside mushrooms and cook them for an additional four minutes.
Step 7
Place a teaspoon of mushroom oil on each shrimp and bake in an oven preheated to 500°F for seven minutes.
Step 8
Evenly divide the remaining butter among the shrimp and return to the oven for ten seconds to allow the butter to melt. Serve with mushrooms and onions.
