Recipe Overview
This warm salad keeps everything clean, vivid and precise. The haricot vert stay crisp-tender, the shrimp are sautéed just until sweet and delicate, and the tomato concassé softens the plate with fresh acidity. Lemon citronette ties the whole dish together without masking the seafood.
Why this salad works
The balance comes from temperature and texture. Warm shrimp and green beans meet cool freshness from the tomato and citrus dressing, creating a plate that feels both refined and naturally vibrant.
Chef style
Do not overcook the shrimp or the beans. The beauty of this salad is in its clean lines, bright seasoning and the simple elegance of good ingredients handled with restraint.

Chef Notes
Blanch the beans only until crisp-tender and dry them well so the dressing stays bright, not watery. The shrimp should be just cooked and still juicy, with the lemon dressing added at the end for freshness.
Service Suggestions
- Serve as a warm antipasto or light seafood course.
- Plate on a flat white dish to highlight the green beans and red tomato concassé.
- Finish with a few drops of extra citronette right before service for extra brightness.
