For the Shrimp

Clean and devein the shrimp, soak in very cold water with 10% salt for one minute ( this will help to plump up the shrimp), then pat dry. Season to taste with a few drops of horseradish juice and a little salt at the moment of serving.

For the Broccoli Oil

Bring oil to 110 degrees, and whisk in a blender for about two minutes. Strain through gauze and let cool. Strain the liquid part and set the oil aside. Plate the shrimp and drizzle the split buttermilk with a few drops of oil. Top the dish with broccoli flowers and Indian mustard sprouts.
