• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 500g cleaned and cooked shrimp
• 1 chopped onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 chopped tomato, seeds removed
• 1/2 cup creamy cheese spread
• Chopped parsley and chives to taste
• Olive oil for sautéing
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough: In a blender, beat the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the flour, and finally the baking powder.
2. Bake the dough: Pour the batter into a greased and floured rectangular baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
3. Prepare the filling: In a pan, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil. Add the chopped tomato and sauté for a few more minutes.
4. Add the shrimp: Add the cooked shrimp to the sautéed mixture, season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the shrimp absorbs the flavors.
5. Fill the swiss roll: Remove the dough from the oven and spread the creamy cheese spread over it. Distribute the shrimp filling evenly over the dough.
6. Roll the swiss roll: Carefully roll up the dough like a swiss roll. If desired, brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
7. Finish: Return to the oven for 10 minutes to gratinate. Serve the Shrimp Swiss Roll hot, garnished with chopped parsley and chives.

Tips and Variations

• Add other vegetables to the filling, such as hearts of palm, corn, or peas.
• Substitute the creamy cheese spread with cream cheese for a more intense flavor.
• Use different sizes of shrimp for a more interesting presentation.
• For a lighter version, use mashed ricotta in the filling.
• Try adding a touch of lemon to the filling to enhance the shrimp flavor.
• Serve the Shrimp Swiss Roll with a fresh salad for a complete meal.

CHEF’s Tips

For a perfect Shrimp Swiss Roll, the quality of the shrimp is essential. Use fresh, good-quality shrimp. Cook the shrimp quickly to avoid a rubbery texture. The ideal point is when it changes color and turns pink. When preparing the dough, use ingredients at room temperature to ensure a homogeneous and light batter. If desired, add chopped fresh herbs to the dough for an extra touch of flavor. When filling the swiss roll, do not overfill to make rolling easier and prevent it from breaking. Serve the Shrimp Swiss Roll with your favorite sauce, such as a rosé sauce or garlic sauce, to complement the flavor.
