Little Pies- Shrimp Filling image

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound shrimp
1 tablespoon cooking vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
salt and pepper
2 tomatoes
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon flour
2 egg yolk
1 can palmitos or can of peas
2 boiled eggs
1/3 cup green olives
3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

Use shrimp that has been cleaned. Heat the frying pan. Add the cooking oil and stir-fry the shrimp, add the finely chopped onion and season with garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chopped tomatoes without seeds or skin. Add a little water and let simmer. Whip the egg yolks, add the milk and flour in a blender. Stir into the shrimp mixture. Continue to stir so it will not scorch. When thick, add the chopped palmitos, grated boiled eggs, chopped green olives and chopped parsley. Let cool. Mixture should be cold and thick before putting into the little pastry shells. NOTE: The same shrimp filling can be used for some of the other recipes in this section. If the filling is for pastéis, it will have to be a little thicker. If it is for empadinhas or pie, it can be less thick. For rocambole use a thicker filling. Less thick if you just want to serve it over rice.
