Steps for savory shrimp tartlets

To make these tasty savory tartlets, you need to prepare the savory pastry dough in advance. You can knead everything by hand, but for convenience, I used a stand mixer. In the mixer’s bowl, add the all-purpose flour, salt, grated Parmesan cheese, cold butter cut into small cubes, and black pepper as needed. Knead using the flat beater (K) at speed 2 for a few minutes until you obtain a sandy dough. Finally, add the egg and a splash of milk and knead for a few more minutes until you get a compact and homogeneous dough. Shape the pastry dough well, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Take the pastry dough from the fridge, work it a little with your hands, and on a floured surface using a rolling pin, roll out a sheet about 1/8 inch thick and cut out flower-shaped discs with a suitable pastry cutter. Butter and flour a muffin pan and place each flower shape in each muffin mold. Using the back of the rolling pin, press the pastry so that it adheres perfectly to the mold. Prick the base with a fork and place the mold in the fridge to rest for 40 minutes. After the resting time, bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Turn off the oven, remove, and let cool.
Cook the shrimp in salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and let them cool. In a bowl, pour the now-cooled shrimp, mayonnaise, and a few spoonfuls of cocktail sauce, which is the pink one, and mix thoroughly. Finally, add the washed and shredded lettuce. Mix thoroughly.
Take the tartlets and fill them. Then place them on a serving plate and serve or keep in the fridge until serving time.
