1 cup small cooked shrimp
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 tablespoons freshly ground Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
3-4 petrale sole fillets

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
freshly ground white peppercorns
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 cup heavy cream
paprika
snipped fresh parsley
In a bowl, combine shrimp, bread crumbs, cheese, dill, salt and pepper. Put a mound of the filling in the center of each fillet and roll it around the filling, securing with kitchen twine or picks. Arrange bundles in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Set aside. In batter bowl, combine butter, flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Microwave on high 30 seconds. Whisk in the half and half as well as the cream. Microwave on high 1 minute. Whisk well. Microwave another 30-40 seconds, and as needed to thicken the sauce. Pour the sauce over the bundles of fish, sprinkle with paprika and snipped parsley. Cover loosely with a piece of waxed paper. Microwave on high 3 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
