This is such a tasty dish that’s so quick and easy to make, yet will cause a stir at the table. The vivid orange yolk of the gull’s egg brings the plate to life while its deep, rich flavour lingers on the palate beautifully. Complimented by the season’s finest asparagus and the sweet nuttiness of the shrimp, this is a dish to delight.
