- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Using a rolling pin, flatten the slices of bread so they are 2 mm thick. Brush them with oil.
- Gently press the bread into muffin tins to form cups. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, and then set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat and fry shallot for 5 minutes.
- Add flour and stir continuously with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes, being sure it doesn't brown.
- Add milk slowly, whisking vigorously and scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, until sauce is smooth.
- Add cauliflower (or broccoli) and fennel to sauce and bring to a boil, stirring continuously so it doesn't stick to pan.
- When sauce thickens, continue cooking, stirring continuously, for another 3 or 4 minutes.
- Add peas, green onion, and shrimp to mixture and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add dill, lemon zest and juice. Mix and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide bread cups onto four plates and top equally with sauce.
