Preparation

Prepare the citronette dressing with lemon, extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly-ground white pepper.

Peel and de-vein the shrimp. Arrange them over a chilled plate and dress them with the marinade at least ten minutes before serving.

Cut the spring onion lengthwise, as finely as possible, and immerse it in a bowl of ice water. This will diminish its overwhelming flavor and cause it to shrivel a bit.

Arrange the shrimp in three clusters. Just above them, place the well-drained and dried spring onions. Dress them both lightly with a bit of salt and the citronette dressing.

Place a teaspoon of caviar above each cluster of shrimp and serve immediately.
