Shrimp - 3.5 oz
Capers - 0.4 oz
Olives stuffed with lemon - 7 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-rings. Melt the butter in a pan and lightly sauté the onion in it. Then add the tomato paste and, stirring constantly, cook the onion until done.

Step 2

Rinse the shrimp and boil them in lightly salted water, then remove the shrimp from the broth (do not discard the broth — it will be needed later), cool, and peel off the shells and heads. Cut the cooked shrimp into small pieces.

Step 3

Place the remaining shrimp broth on the heat and bring it to a boil. Add the sautéed onion, peeled and diced pickles, capers, bay leaf, black peppercorns, season with salt to taste, and cook for 5–10 minutes. A couple of minutes before it's done, stir in the sour cream and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Before serving, place boiled shrimp, halved olives, and a slice of lemon in each bowl, pour the solyanka into the bowls, and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
