Rissis De Camaro (Portuguese Shrimp Turnovers), From Portuguese Homestyle Cooking by Ana Patuleia Ortins Submitted for Zaar World Tour 5 Not a quick and easy recipe, but for a special event, I think these would make a wonderful appetizer! And can be made ahead and frozen before frying I gave my best estimate on prep and cook time! NOTE: To freeze: Line a sheet pan with plastic wrap and set the pastries down in a single layer without overlapping Cover well with plastic wrap, smoothing out as much air as possible Freeze They will keep for at least a month VARIATION: Substitute 1 1/2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken, rabbit, or shredded poached salt cod for the shrimp Stir briefly, add 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery, stir, and assemble , These are very tasty! I subbed chicken for the shrimp I would have preferred the shrimp but my DIL is alergic to seafood! I like the versatility of this recipe in that you can sub out the shrimp for a variety of items and, you can make minor changes by adding different vegetables and get a lot of different flavor results used the stated amount of hot sauce and that worked for me But I can see that for some who like it hot, could add more to give them a little more heat! Fun recipe! Made for Photo tag
