Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter and combine it with the rest of the ingredients for the crust. Mix in a food processor for 30-60 seconds until get a nice dough.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of a springform pan — max. 9.5" (24 cm). Press the dough in an even layer into the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow cooling.
- Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Chop the prawns roughly, keep a few pieces intact for garnishing if you like.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese and sour cream. Add dill, chives, and some citrus zest if you like, for an extra fresh taste. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the gelatin sheets from the water. Melt them gently in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the gelatin into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the shrimps and combine them. Spread the mixture over the pie crust. Let it set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Garnish with thinly sliced lemon and/or lime, roe and chives or dill.
Tip!
Freshly grated horseradish or a pinch of cayenne pepper also works great as a flavor enhancer in the shrimp cheesecake. You can also use flavored cream cheese with herbs or pink pepper.
