Shrimp tartlets: recipe with photo step by step

How to prepare this delicious snack? We will need: 20 tartlets, 20 shrimp, 100 g of cheese, two cloves of garlic, two tablespoonsspoons of mayonnaise, 1 avocado, vegetable oil for frying.

1. First of all, we need to clean the seafood. We remove the shell: cut along the back and pull out the intestinal vein with the insides.
2. Well, the shrimp have already been cleaned and washed. Now we will fry them in olive oil with garlic. But first, dry with napkins from excess moisture. Pour oil into a pan, add chopped garlic. It has begun to turn brown and lets you know about the readiness of the smell. Remove it from the bowl.
3. Put the shrimp in the pan, fry for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Yes, you need more s alt and pepper and set aside for now.
4. Now we make the stuffing. First of all, we need to cut the avocado in half and take out all the pulp with a spoon. By the way, how to choose the right avocado so that it is ripe? You need to press with your finger: if it sags a little, then it’s ripe, if not, then you shouldn’t take it.
5. Cut as if it were a peach. It is very easy to pull out the bone, we do not need it. We take a tablespoon and pick out the pulp, and then we take a fork and knead it. If the avocado is ripe, it will be very easy to knead.
6. Now the cheese needs to be grated on a coarse grater. We also boil hard-boiled eggs (this is about 10 minutes). Then we clean and pass through an egg cutter or just finely press or cut with a knife.
7. Mix all the ingredients: avocado with cheese, add eggs here, squeeze a clove of garlic and spread mayonnaise. We mix everything well. If you wish, you can s alt and pepper to taste.
8. After we mixedfilling, fill the tartlets with it. We take the finished base, put one spoonful of the filling there. After we filled the tartlets with the mixture, the final stage remains. We take pre-fried seafood and install it on top of the structure (you can put it vertically, but if you want, you can, in principle, put it on its side - this is already a matter of taste). Consumption: 1 piece per base.
