A vegetable looking like a pale carrot is not exactly what we are much likely to go for. Even if this forgotten vegetable was reintroduced a few years ago on our plates by chefs it is not really familiar.
Today, this recipe will highlight its many perks such as the fact that it is an excellent dietary value by replacing the classic and heavy potato to make a puree but also the subtle sweet and salty taste that brings this food to the dish and the notes of nuts that will recall the nutmeg present in the puree.
Parsnips combine very well with seafood, especially pureed parsnip, so I chose sautéed shrimp for complementarity.

In a saucepan, boil lightly salted water.
Peel and cut the parsnips into chunks and cook them for about 20 minutes in boiling water. To check the cooking, pass a knife into a piece of parsnip, it must go through without resistance.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the chopped garlic. Add shrimp, chopped parsley, tomato past, salt and pepper, cook for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, add cooked parsnips, liquid cream, milk, nutmeg. Using a hand blender, mix until you get a puree without chunks. Salt, pepper to your liking.
Serve the puree by adding the shrimp and cilantro (optional).
As a suggestion, you can also add the basil oil presented in the photos. The full recipe can be found on Cooknvibe's Instagram but I can add it here by comments request.
