Ingredients

16 medium shrimps, peeled, deveined and split in half lengthwise, about 1/2 pound
Juice of 1 lemon
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, loosely packed
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons mayonnaise, preferably homemade
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 small red pepper, cut into julienne strips
1/4 small green pepper, cut into julienne strips

Steps:

Place the shrimps in a saucepan with half the lemon juice. Add enough cold water to barely cover them. Bring just to a simmer and drain immediately. Transfer the shrimps to a bowl and toss with the remaining lemon juice.
Combine the garlic, saffron and salt in a shallow bowl and mash them together with the back of a spoon. Mix in the mayonnaise and season with cayenne pepper.
Fold the mayonnaise into the shrimps, add the peppers, and mix again. Refrigerate until ready to use.
