Steps

  1. ### Brigidtes Shrimp or Tuna Mousse Cheese Recipe: A Perfect Snack or Appetizer
  2. #### Introduction:
  3. Brigidtes are a delightful appetizer or snack that combine the richness of cheese with the flavors of seafood. This recipe offers a twist on traditional brigidtes by incorporating shrimp or tuna, creating a light yet satisfying mousse that is perfect for parties or casual gatherings.
  4. #### Ingredients (for 20 servings):
  5. - 1 cup shredded white cheddar or smoked Gouda cheese
  6. - 3 cups cooked and flaked shrimp (or drained, well-flaked canned tuna)
  7. - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  8. - 2 tbsp milk or cream
  9. - 1 tsp lemon juice
  10. - Salt and pepper to taste
  11. - Fresh herbs like parsley or dill for garnish
  12. #### Step-by-Step Guide:
  13. 1. **Prepare the Shrimp (or Tuna)**
  14. - If using shrimp, cook them in a pan until pink and fully cooked.
  15. - Let cool, then flake them into small pieces with your fingers or use kitchen shears to break them up finely.
  16. 2. **Melt the Cheese**
  17. - In a medium bowl, melt the shredded cheese by microwaving it for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each session until fully melted and smooth.
  18. - Alternatively, you can place the cheese in a double boiler over low heat to melt gently without burning.
  19. 3. **Mix Ingredients Together**
  20. - Once the cheese is melted, mix it with the mayonnaise, milk (or cream), lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  21. - Gradually fold in the flaked shrimp or tuna ensuring the mixture is evenly distributed and smooth.
  22. 4. **Adjust Flavors**
  23. - Taste the mousse and adjust the seasoning if necessary. A few additional dashes of lemon juice can brighten up the flavor profile.
  24. 5. **Chill Before Serving**
  25. - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
  26. - This chilling period allows the flavors to meld together, making the brigidtes creamier.
  27. 6. **Assemble Brigidtes**
  28. - Take small rounds of cheese (about 1-inch diameter) and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
  29. - Spoon a small amount of the shrimp or tuna mousse onto each piece of cheese, shaping it into a neat ball or spreading it out slightly to resemble a brigdie shape.
  30. 7. **Garnish and Serve**
  31. - Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for a pop of color and freshness.
  32. - Serve chilled as an appetizer at parties or gatherings, or enjoy them anytime you crave something light yet satisfying.
  33. #### Tips:
  34. - Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Freshly cooked shrimp or canned tuna in water are preferable over those in oil.
  35. - For a richer texture, replace some of the mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  36. - Experiment with different types of cheese like blue cheese or feta for a unique twist.
  37. #### Conclusion:
  38. Brigidtes made from shrimp or tuna mousse cheese offer a delightful way to enjoy seafood without the heaviness. Perfect for sharing and impressing guests, these brigidtes are a versatile recipe that can be customized according to your taste preferences. Enjoy creating this delicious appetizer!
