Description

You can use pre-made tartlet shells to reduce the preparation time to 15 minutes. Butter can be replaced with margarine or a mixture of both in equal amounts.

Ingredients

Peanut Butter - 2 teaspoons
Shrimp - 40 pieces
Wheat Flour - 8.8 oz
Salt - ½ teaspoon
Butter - 4.4 oz
Chicken Egg - 1 piece
Water - 4 fl oz
Mayonnaise - 3.5 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sift the flour into a large bowl and mix it with the salt. Beat the egg with a fork and add it to the flour along with the butter or margarine; quickly mix the dough with your hands until it crumbles. Gradually add the water and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Now form the dough into a ball, cover it with a towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes in a cool place.

Step 2

Meanwhile, boil and peel the shrimp.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 392°F and grease 20 tartlet molds — either boat-shaped or round, 4 cm in diameter.

Step 4

Dust the table with flour and roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm. Cut out circles with a 4 cm diameter using a cup or a special cutter and place them in the molds.

Step 5

Prick each tartlet with a fork, cover with parchment paper, and fill the container with dry beans or chickpeas. This is done to prevent the finished tartlets from becoming soggy from the filling. Bake for 15 minutes. Then remove the paper with the beans and return the tartlets to the oven for another 5 minutes until they are golden brown.

Step 6

Place the tartlets on a rack and let them cool. Then brush the insides of the baskets with mayonnaise, place 2 shrimp in each, and let sit for 30 minutes before serving.
