Instructions

1. Peel the prawns and remove the intestines.
2. For the sauce, peel the carrot and shallot and cut into small cubes together with the leek. Sauté briefly in olive oil in a shallow saucepan. Add the carcasses and roast. Deglaze with a little water, add paprika and curry.
3. Let the liquid evaporate completely and roast everything again briefly. Deglaze with 250 ml of water and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid closed. Add 125 ml white wine, lightly salt and pepper and simmer for another 5 minutes with the lid closed.
4. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve and bring to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce to approx. 125 ml and add the cream. Bring to the boil and season with salt and pepper. A splash of cognac is also good here.
5. For the potato bed, peel the potatoes and cut into fine 2-3 mm thin slices. Cut the leek and fennel into thin slices. Blanch the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 3 minutes, then drain and place in a buttered, ovenproof, flat dish. Cover with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out.
6. Sauté the leek and fennel in a little butter for about 3-4 minutes, then spread on the potatoes. Pour the sauce over it and bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.
7. While the potatoes are in the oven, season the prawns with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the finely chopped garlic with the ginger. Add the prawns and fry for about 3 minutes on each side.
8. Arrange the prawns on the potato bed and serve with white bread or baguette.
