Shrimp tartare: the recipe for an elegant and delicious appetizer
ingredients
For the tartare:
Extra virgin olive oil
The shrimp tartare it’s a antipasto elegant, quick and easy to prepare: thanks to its delicate flavor and marinating with lemon juice, this tartare is often appreciated even by those who do not like too much fish with a stronger taste.
To prepare the dish you can use pink prawns, gray ones or even king prawns: however, we recommend that you make sure that have been shot down and that they are therefore suitable to be consumed raw. In our recipe, after marinating the shrimp, we prepared a fresh one parsley sauce – perfect match – creamy made with a part of Greek yogurt inside. If you prefer, however, you can simply serve this tartare with some rocket salad, which with its bitter taste enhances that of the prawns. Another interesting and particular combination is the one with theavocado: cut into cubes and serve with the tartare, seasoning with oil, salt and lemon.
If you liked this dish, also try the salmon tartare recipe, or the tuna one; if you prefer meat, try the beef tartare recipe. Finally, you can also try the tartare in a sweet version, with peaches and yogurt.
