I made these today, it was an experiment. There is a cooking competition coming up, shrimp are a required ingredient, everything else is an optional ingredient. I'll be making lots of shrimp themed dishes for the next week or two.
pre heat oven to 400 degrees
1/2 cup cooked, shelled shrimp
1/2 tsp chopped fresh ginger
2 chopped peeled shallots
2Tb olive oil
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup semolina flour
1/4 flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
water
In a food processor make a paste of the shrimp, ginger, shallots and olive oil.
Add butter and pulse until mixed, but you still see chunks of pea sized chunks of butter.
In a bowl measure all dry ingredients, add the shrimp mixture and mix with your hands add water slowly till it forms a ball. You might not need much water if your shrimp are more wet.
Refrigerate for 30 mins.
Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness, use semolina flour to keep dough from sticking. Cut into any shape desired, I used a 2 inch circle and cut each in half, prick with a fork to keep them from puffing too much. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
makes about 30 crackers.
