Prawn (Shrimp) and Lime Tartlets

"A recipe from a national supermakets Christmas magazine. You can use store bought Lime Aioli Seafood Dipping Sauce (which the recipe called for) for they also gave a tip for making your own so have put that in the recipe and added a little extra time to the prep. There is no cooking involved. These tartlets are very small, one or two delicate bites."

  1. A 5 star recipe Pat - made to celebrate Australia Day as a finger food and enjoyed by all. I substituted some small gluten-free tartlet shells for the regular version. The size of the pastry shell recommended in the recipe would be close to a tart shell made in a minim-muffin pan. I used a good quality store bought aoili that I then added lime juice and zest. I bought Aussie prawns since it is Australia Day ...but they were larger than called for in the recipe- so used two prawns per tart. Sprinkled over gound sea-salt , pepper and extra lime juice to serve. A very pretty presentation that is a perfect party finger food and delicious served with a glass of bubbly. Photo to be posted soon.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
