During that time, remove the shells off the shrimps (leave the tail on to make them look prettier) and slice the rollmops into wide strips. Chop the radishes and spring onions, discarding the dark green ends and roots.
Prepare the salad on four plates and dispose all the cold ingredients on it.
When the potatoes are ready, rinse them under cold water (reserve 2 juniper berries) and slice them. Dispose the slices evenly on each plate.
Prepare the sauce: whisk the cream energetically with the lemon, gin and 2 of the cooked juniper berries, crushed. Pour over the plates and serve immediately.
Peel and boil the potatoes with the juniper berries for about 20 minutes until tender, starting in cold water.
