2. Pour a little vegetable oil into a skillet and heat it. Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté lightly. 3–4 minutes is enough; then remove the shrimp from the heat. Place them on a paper towel and let cool slightly. For extra aroma while frying, you can add a garlic clove to the oil.

3. Depending on the cheese, the appetizer filling can be blended in a blender or grated on a grater. Soft cheese can simply be mashed with a fork. In this case, Mozzarella is used. Put the cheese in the blender bowl and add a little sour cream or mayonnaise. Peel a clove of garlic and add it to the bowl. Blend until smooth and, if desired, season lightly with salt to taste. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
