Hot canapés with Fra Diavolo shrimp topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2 sheets fresh lasagna pasta, each cut into 3 squares
- 6 very large shrimp, butterflyed in half
- 3/4 cup semi-skimmed ricotta
- 1 and 1/4 teaspoons Calabrian chili paste
- 0.5 tsp coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/3 cup store-bought marinara sauce
- 12 small leaves of fresh basil
- Cooking spray with olive oil to spray the pan
- Special equipment: metal pan for 12 mini muffins
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Spray a 12-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Place a square of dough into each cup and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, chili paste, salt, and oregano. Place a mound of the cheese mixture in the bottom of the mold. Top with 1/2 teaspoon of marinara sauce. Gently press a shrimp piece into the cheese, leaving the ends exposed. Spray the appetizer with cooking spray.
- Bake until the tartlets are golden brown, the sauce is bubbling, and the shrimp are cooked through, about 18 minutes. Remove from the pan to cool slightly. Top with a basil leaf and serve.
