Canape with shrimps on skewers
The most popular idea for canapés on skewers is the use of combinations of various fish, shellfish and molluscs. From the latter we decided to choose shrimp and combine them with not quite normal, but from that no less delicious, additive - ripe mango.
Ingredients:
- shrimp - 530 g;
- olive oil - 15 ml;
- hot pepper - 1 teaspoon;
- juice of half a lemon;
- garlic teeth - 2 pieces;
- fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon;
- ripe mango - 2 pcs.
Preparation
Since frozen shrimps, pre-cooked in the factory, are available in wide sale, our task is to defrost and clean them. After cleansing the shrimp tails, marinate them in a mixture of butter, citrus juice, hot pepper, ginger and chopped garlic. Tender shrimp meat lasts 15 minutes in order to be saturated with a mixture of flavors. Separate the pulp of mango from bones and peel, cut into cubes and plant on a skewer alternately with shrimp tails. Finished skewers can be sprinkled with cilantro or poured with light sour cream sauce immediately before serving.
Canape with salmon on skewers
Another version of the popular canapé on skewers - canape with salmon. As part of the recipe, you can then use both lightly salted and smoked fish.
Ingredients:
- lavash - 1 sheet;
- cream cheese - 145 g;
- smoked salmon - 420 g;
- cucumber - 2 pieces;
- green onions - 6-8 feathers.
Preparation
For this recipe it is better to take dense sheets of pita bread or tortilla so that they are not soaked with cream cheese and do not turn into mashed potatoes.
The cooking scheme is elementary: cut the pita bread in half and grease each half with cream cheese, cover everything with thin slices of fish and lay the cucumber strips on one of the edges. Sprinkle the surface with finely chopped onions and roll the pita bread into a roll. Cut the rolls into small pieces and put them on the skewers. For a greater variety, you can use different varieties of fillings, for example, add radish, red caviar, dill, mix cream cheese with sliced capers or crushed shrimp tails.
