Delicious wild garlic and shrimp rolls

When it comes to quick and tasty recipes, wild garlic and shrimp rolls are an excellent choice. They perfectly combine the delicate flavors of shrimp with the freshness of wild garlic and the sweetness of strawberries. Not only are they an attractive appetizer, but they are also a healthy and nutrient-rich option. Additionally, if wild garlic is not available, you can successfully use lettuce or leek leaves, making this recipe versatile and easily adaptable.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients

- 180 g yogurt cheese (you can use cottage cheese or feta, depending on your preference)
- 1 tablespoon yogurt (preferably Greek for its creamy consistency)
- 80 g cooked shrimp (or fried, according to preference)
- 40 g strawberries (choose those with a firm texture)
- 12-15 wild garlic leaves (or lettuce leaves, depending on availability)
- A pinch of salt

Preparation

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cutting the shrimp into small cubes. This will allow the flavors to combine perfectly in the rolls. Then, chop the strawberries into small cubes, making sure to choose strawberries that are not overly ripe, as they will provide a pleasant acidity.

2. Filling mixture: In a bowl, combine the shrimp cubes with the chopped strawberries, yogurt cheese, yogurt, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until you achieve a homogeneous composition. It is important to adjust the amount of salt according to personal taste and the saltiness of the cheese.

3. Preparing the wild garlic leaves: Wash the wild garlic leaves well and dry them carefully. Cut the stems to obtain leaves that are easier to roll. If using lettuce leaves, make sure they are fresh and crisp.

4. Assembling the rolls: Take a wild garlic leaf and place a teaspoon of the shrimp and cheese mixture at one end of the leaf. Carefully roll the leaf, starting from the end with the filling, ensuring that the filling does not spill out. Repeat this step for all the leaves.

5. Serving: Arrange the rolls on a platter. They can be served immediately or refrigerated to chill, which will enhance the flavors. I recommend serving them with a garlic yogurt sauce or alongside a fresh salad.

Practical tips

- Variations: If you don’t have wild garlic, use lettuce or leek leaves, and for a more intense flavor, you can add a bit of garlic to the filling mixture.
- Shrimp: Make sure to use quality shrimp, whether fresh or frozen, but cooked correctly to avoid a rubbery texture.
- Strawberries: Strawberries add a note of sweetness, but you can also experiment with other seasonal fruits, such as mango or peaches, for an interesting twist.

Nutritional benefits

These rolls are not only delicious but also nutritious. Shrimp are an excellent source of protein, while wild garlic is rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Yogurt provides beneficial probiotics for digestion. Strawberries add fiber and vitamin C, making them a healthy and enjoyable appetizer.
