Preparation steps

1.

Preheat oven to 200°C (approximately 400°F). Peel and finely chop the shallots. Blanch the tomatoes, let cool slightly, then peel, remove the seeds and finely dice. Soak the saffron in 3 tablespoons of water. Peel the garlic. Heat oil in a pan. Saute the garlic and shallots until translucent. Add shrimp and cook while stirring for about 1 minute.

Pour into an ovenproof baking dish and bake for about 10 minutes. Rinse and shake dry the mint, then place on top of shrimp as a garnish. Serve with lemon wedges.
