Ingredients

  • Asparagus

    • 1 bundle of asparagus (6 to 8 spears per person)
    • 4 eggs
    • Sea salt
    • Freshly ground pepper
    • 200 g Nordic shrimp
    • 4 radishes, julienned
    • A few stems of fresh dill

  • Sauce

    • ⅔ cup (170 mL) frozen shelled edamame
    • ½ cup (125 mL) 2% M.F. plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 ½ tsp (7.5 mL) maple syrup
    • 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice
    • 1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
    • ¼ cup (60 mL) fresh dill, roughly chopped
    • 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh chives, chopped
    • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) sea salt
    • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the edamame for about 1 minute (do not overcook to preserve the colour). Drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    Using a mini food processor, blend together all the sauce ingredients until the texture is smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.

  • Step 3

    Place the eggs (in their shells) in a saucepan and cover with at least 1 inch of water. Cover the saucepan and place it on high heat, and bring it to a boil. Remove from the heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Use a colander to strain the eggs, then immediately run them under cold water.
