Mushroom cream with crispy prawns and cocoa cappuccino

This delicious and original recipe was made by our friend Stéphane Poussardin in the Claudia&Julia showroom, We Love Cooking. Stéphane is a good friend who has a beautiful space in Barcelona ( L'Atelier d'Stéphane ) where he offers creative market cooking workshops and tasting menus for small groups.

The recipe can be made with any mild-flavored mushrooms that are in season, or with mushrooms or shitakes if mushrooms are not in season. It is an ideal recipe to cook with our Le Creuset cast iron cocotte .
