About Portuguese shrimp puff

Portuguese Shrimp Puff, known as "Rissóis de Camarão," is a traditional appetizer from Portuguese cuisine. These savory bites feature a delicate, flaky crust made from a dough of flour, butter, and water, encasing a creamy shrimp filling. The filling typically combines finely chopped shrimp with a rich béchamel sauce, seasoned with garlic, onion, and parsley for added flavor. While their small size makes them an indulgent treat, they are usually fried, which increases their calorie and fat content. On the healthier side, the shrimp provides lean protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as selenium. However, this dish is best enjoyed in moderation due to its frying process and dough-based exterior. A baked version can be a lighter alternative for health-conscious eaters while still celebrating the essence of this Portuguese favorite. Perfect for gatherings, these puffs are a flavorful nod to Portugal's seafood-rich culinary heritage.
