Ingredients
Directions
- Peel the shrimp, clean them, season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then set aside.
- Cook the potatoes with the peel in salted water, peel them, allow them to cool, cut them into slices, and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour, season with a little salt, then gradually whisk in the hot milk until a creamy béchamel sauce forms.
- Grease a baking dish, alternate the potato slices with the shrimp by lightly overlapping them, brush with mustard, drizzle with the béchamel sauce, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C or 350°F for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
