Since I’m on vacation I have some wonderful bloggers stopping by. Today we have Gosia with us sharing a delicious shrimp turtles – appetizer recipe. Make sure to check out her blog! Thank you Gosia, and now I turn it over to her.
Hi, I am Gosia, a mom to a wonderful daughter, a bright shining star in my life. I am Polish and I’ve been living in Canada for the last 2.5 years after 12 years spent in the south of France (sun & sea!).
Beginning of this year, I’ve started a blog ‘Kiddie Foodies’ in order to share creative, healthy and fun recipes that I am making for my daughter. I usually cook the same meal for the whole family, and then just change the ‘presentation’ for my daughter. Kids sometimes need to eat with their eyes first, and if there is something cute on their plate they are more willing to try it. This strategy works perfectly for my daughter and it helped her to discover and taste new food – vegetables and fruits – in a pleasant way. Hope that you’ll come to visit me at www.kiddiefoodies.com and find some inspiration on how to feed your little tummies and have fun at the same time!
I’d like to thank Forgetful Momma for featuring my post! I hope you will enjoy it!
Shrimps Turtles – Simple Appetizer Recipe

I love shrimps and I used to cook quite a lot of meals with shrimps when we lived in the south of France. When we were buying them fresh, my daughter was intrigued each time (she was still a baby at that time). I guess she was wondering if they were to eat or to play with… I must admit that it has been a while since I have not cooked shrimps at home, so the time has come to change this! I bought shrimps and decided to prepare a nice snack so my daughter could try them. These are very easy to make and really delicious, my daughter loved it! They are disappearing really quickly, so make sure you have made enough 🙂
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons of creamy cheese (e.g. Boursin)
- 1 tablespoon of sour cream
- around 30 cooked shrimps
- 1 clove of garlic
- oil
Preparation
Separate the egg white from the yolk. Whisk the egg white until it stands up in well-defined peaks. Mix the egg yolk and
then add it gently to the white and mix with a spoon.
Use a spoon to place the mixture from Step1 onto the non-stick baking paper, shaping ovals. Bake in the pre-heated oven
on 180C/360F for around 10min, until golden. The ovals need to be hard enough to cut them, should not be wet inside.
In the meantime, coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil and add smashed garlic.Put shrimps into the hot pan and stir
them with a spoon frequently so that both sides of the shrimp get cooked. Cook them over high heat for 3-4 minutes.
Cut each oval from Step2 lengthwise and spread it with cheese inside. Place shrimps around each oval to make turtles legs
and head. Cut shrimps if needed to adjust the length. Enjoy!
