As dover sole is the most expensive of the sole family we always try to do something special with it and keep it simple so you can really taste it. I always see potted shrimp as a luxury too so it seemed perfect to pair them together. The sun dried tomatoes added a really nice sweetness and the aniseed and fresh notes from the tarragon added a lovely flavour. If you want to wow your guests this dish is perfect and not too hard to make.
