SAVORY SHRIMP AND LIME COOKIES 🍋🦐

📋 Ingredients:

120 g flour

1 egg

60 g softened butter

100 g peeled and diced shrimp

Grated zest of 1 lime

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon baking powder

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Chopped chives (optional, for a fresh herbal kick)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Prep the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan setting preferred). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Base:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, grated lime zest, and a twist of pepper.

3️⃣ Form the Dough:

Add the softened butter and egg. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a smooth, even dough forms.

4️⃣ Fold in the Flavor:

Gently incorporate the diced shrimp, lime juice, and chives (if using). Ensure the shrimp is well distributed in the dough.

5️⃣ Shape the Cookies:

With slightly damp hands, form dough balls the size of a large walnut. Flatten gently and space them apart on the baking tray.

6️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection:

Bake for 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges. Let them cool on a wire rack.

7️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:

Serve these soft, savory cookies warm or at room temperature. Each bite delivers a zesty, buttery hit of shrimp and lime goodness!
