Shrimp canapés on skewers
Description
The recipe won't take much time. These canapés have nothing superfluous; each ingredient plays its important role. The main ingredient, of course, is shrimp. They define the flavor of the canapés and are the dominant element. Lemon adds a light tang, making the shrimp flavor more interesting and zesty. Hard cheese (of course, good and expensive) makes the appetizer more refined, complementing its flavor with new notes. Shrimp canapés are very simple and quick to make, literally in 10 minutes. So by the time your guests arrive, you'll have time not only to prepare the appetizers, but also to get yourself ready. After all, it only takes a few minutes to boil the shrimp, slice the cheese and lemon, and skewer everything on cocktail picks or toothpicks, garnished with green onion. Today I'll share my favorite recipe with you. They can be served warm or chilled.

Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Buy dry-frozen shrimp so you don’t overpay for ice and avoid spoiled product. Boil the shrimp in water with salt and 1 tsp dill seeds added.

Step 2
Peel the shrimp. Cut the lemon into small pieces, leaving the peel on—it will give the canapés a special touch and an appetizing color. Cut the cheese into small flat squares.

Step 3
Pierce all three ingredients with skewers or toothpicks in this order: first one end of the shrimp, then the lemon, the other end of the shrimp, and finally the hard cheese. The cheese will keep the canapé standing upright. Garnish the appetizer with finely chopped onion and serve to your delighted guests with red and white wine.
