Ingredients

- 500g of red shrimp

- half a watermelon, not too much ripe

- a full hand of cherry tomatoes

- Lemon juice (optional)

- Italian parsley, finely chopped

- butter, olive oil

This kind of red shrimp are from Sicily, if you can't find them use regular shrimp but be sure they are very fresh! Clean the body of the shrimp, taking out the shell and the legs. Set aside.

Chop the watermelon and the tomatoes and add them in a blender. Let them create a cream. Filter the cream with a colander to take out the tomato peels and the watermelon seeds if you missed some.

Taste the gazpacho and adjust the acidity with some lemon juice only if needed. It really depends on how ripe is the watermelon. Divide the gazpacho in serving bowls.

In a plat pan melt a piece of butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the shrimp and stir them until cooked. Do not overcook them or they will get hard and chewy.

Add some shrimp in each bowl. sprinkle on top some fresh italian parsley finely chopped. Serve cold.
