Prep
Rinse shrimp and pat dry. Finely dice onion, slice garlic thin, chop parsley. Drain anchovies and lay flat. Cut lemons into wedges. Toast bread until golden.

Build
Whisk chickpea flour, plain flour, pimentón, and fine salt in a wide bowl. Pour in cold sparkling water, whisk until smooth like single cream. Fold in shrimp, onion, and 1.5 tbsp parsley until evenly distributed. Rest covered 10 minutes.
