Hmmm ... not bad sounding at all. Worth a go.

I'm thinking though that as others have said rosemary is too strong. Dill
would be my choice. Also, I think I would make a shrimp mousse instead of
chopping the shrimp. I'd toss the peeled shrimp into a food processor and
blend it to a thick paste with some heavy cream, an egg and some white
truffle oil if I had any. S&P to taste.
