My earnestness for the carabineiro variety of shrimp has not abated and has probably only grown since holidaying in Portugal. Great flavours from this dish, especially so in the intensely prawny sauce, and that creamy prosciutto custard stabbed with crisp prosciutto shards on a bed of chestnut crumble. That this pricy crustacean is part of Sala’s €45 5-course tasting menu is mind boggling value for money.

Taste: 4/5
