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.

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.
Place the zucchini and tomato on a slice of bread, then top with another layer. Add the bodies of the red shrimp and some baby mesclun dressed with vinaigrette. Stick the heads into the top vertically. Finish the dish with some of the cheese and chive mixture, the oil with reduced vinegar and some pomegranate seeds.
Chef's Remark:
"This is a different way of eating red Palamós shrimp, with its full flavor brought out by cooking it in its natural medium. This is our new-look shellfish coca."
