About Rissois de camarao

Rissois de Camarão are a traditional Portuguese dish consisting of crescent-shaped shrimp turnovers. These savory snacks feature a soft dough, typically made with flour, butter, and water, filled with a creamy shrimp mixture that includes shrimp, butter, flour, milk, and seasonings like onion, garlic, and parsley. The pockets are then breaded and deep-fried until golden brown. Native to Portuguese cuisine, they are a popular appetizer or party food and are enjoyed worldwide for their rich flavor and crispy texture. While Rissois de Camarão are delicious, they’re not particularly health-forward due to the deep-frying process, which increases fat and calorie content. However, shrimp is a good source of lean protein and essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12. For a healthier twist, baking or air-frying could replace traditional frying methods. Portion control plays a key role in balancing enjoyment with nutritional considerations.
