Light Coca with Red Shrimp, Raf Tomato and Baby Zucchini

Preparation

Cut the bread into wafer-thin slices then trim to form uniform shapes. Toast lightly with extra virgin olive oil on a chrome-plated griddle.

Peel and seed the tomatoes, then cut them. Cut the zucchini and blanch lightly in salted water. Just before serving, dress the tomato and zucchini.

Peel the shrimp, remove the heads and blanch in seawater for just 60 seconds.

Reduce the balsamic vinegar then leave to cool. Mix with the extra virgin olive oil.

Mix the cream cheese with chopped chives and dress.

Carles Gaig

Gramona Sauvignon Blanc 2008 (DO Penedès), by the Gramona Winery. The characteristics of this wine blend perfectly with the shrimp–very subtle aromas with apple and peach plus passion fruit giving a tropical touch. In the mouth it is fresh and long.
