PREPARATION:
1. Thaw pre-cooked shrimp. Measure the quantity, season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Set aside in a bowl.
2. Separate other ingredients and utensils from the recipe.
3. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Wash, remove the seeds and chop the chilli.
4. Wash and chop the parsley and green onion. Book on absorbent paper. Cut the tomato, remove the seeds and chop it.
5. If you choose to use coriander seeds, grind them, place them in a plastic bag and beat them with the meat whisk (optional).
6. Wash and very finely chop the chard and coriander leaves. Measure the quantities and soak them in a bowl with water and sodium hypochlorite.
7. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
PREPARATION:
Shrimp filling:
1. In a heated pan, over low heat, add the olive oil and brown the onion.
2. Then add the finger-de-moça pepper.
3. Add the garlic and continue to sauté.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes and seasoned prawns, mix well and leave to rest for 2 minutes.
5. Add the fresh cream and mix.
6. Keep it on the heat to reduce it, become creamy and heat it up (don’t cook it for too long to avoid the prawns becoming rubbery, they will go in the oven anyway).
7. If necessary, add a little more cream, being careful not to make it liquid.
8. Add salt and pepper and turn off the heat.
9. Add the parsley, chopped green onions and coriander seeds (optional). Mix well and set aside.
Empadinha – Dough (this step can be done in the food processor or by hand):
1. In a pan, over low heat, or in a bowl in the microwave, melt the butter.
2. In a bowl, mix the melted butter with the almond flour with a spatula or blend with a food processor.
3. Sift half the amount of eggs (to remove the skin from the yolk) and add them to the dough (keep the rest of the egg aside for brushing the cakes).
4. Add salt. Mix in the bowl or beat again with the robot until a smooth dough forms. If necessary, add more almond flour to thicken the mixture. Reserve.
Shrimp Cake – Assembly:
1. Preferably use small cake molds. An alternative is to assemble the cakes in molds or in a larger dish to serve as a “cake”.
2. Separate just over half of the dough to cover the bottom and sides of the molds (the rest of the dough will serve as a covering).
3. Divide the dough into equal balls to obtain 3 tarts per person. Press each ball against the bottom and sides of the molds, maintaining the same thickness. Reinforce the bottom edges, which join the bottom.
4. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork.
5. Divide the filling into equal portions and place it in the molds, filling the entire cavity.
6. With the rest of the dough, open discs of the diameter of the molds in the palms of your hands and cover the tarts, pressing the edges well.
7. Brush with the beaten egg.
8. Sprinkle chopped coriander seeds over the cakes (optional).
9. Place the molds on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
ENTRY OR DESSERT
If you have chosen to prepare an appetizer or dessert, take the opportunity to prepare them while the tarts are baking.
Chard Salad with Cilantro:
1. Remove the chard and coriander from the sodium hypochlorite water.
2. Wash under running water in a colander, drain and dry or spin dry.
3. Season with extra virgin olive oil, salt and lemon drops and leave to rest while the cakes finish cooking.
4. If you choose to use red peppers to decorate the salad, wash them, remove the seeds and cut them into cubes (optional).
Shrimp cake with chard salad:
1. Check that the tarts are cooked.
2. Remove from the oven, wait for it to cool slightly and remove from the mould.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
1. Arrange the hot tarts on a serving plate or, if you prefer, directly on the plates.
2. Serve the salad in a salad bowl or in individual bowls to accompany.
3. Add chilli cubes to decorate (optional).
4. Serve the Tabasco separately to accompany it (optional).
