Preparation

1. Place the shrimps in a saucepan with half the lemon juice. Add enough cold water to barely cover them. Bring just to a simmer and drain immediately. Transfer the shrimps to a bowl and toss with the remaining lemon juice.
2. Combine the garlic, saffron and salt in a shallow bowl and mash them together with the back of a spoon. Mix in the mayonnaise and season with cayenne pepper.
3. Fold the mayonnaise into the shrimps, add the peppers, and mix again. Refrigerate until ready to use.
