Blinis - Another way to serve - Try Prawns

Recently I posted a recipe for Yummy Blinis click here for the recipe
I made a couple of changes
First, defrosted then roasted a bag of Prawns
as below

Just toss the defrosted prawn tails with a slosh of Olive Oil
Some sea salt 
A grind of Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Grated zest of a lemon

Into a 200C oven for just 6 mins
Remove from the oven
Squeeze juice of 1 small lemon and mix 
Cool
Take about 8-10 cooked prawns and chop finely 
Make a batch of the blini mixture
add the prawns and 
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Leave to rest in the refrigerator minimum 30 minutes
Then cook and set aside



Meanwhile, prepare some Cream Cheese for the topping
Whip together 1/2 cup cream cheese with a tablespoon of chopped parley
Grind of black pepper
1 tsp grated lemon zest
2 tbs of a good olive oil
Spread over cooked blinis
Top with a cooked prawn and little bit of chopped parsley

Another cream cheese flavouring, try this one
Using bread and butter pickles
They add a crunch and that sweet and sour
Oooh just special
1/2 cup cream cheese
4-5 slices of bread and butter pickles
about a teaspoon of the juice
Zest of half a lemon
2 tablespoons chopped chives Pinch salt and good rind of freshly ground black pepper
Spread on the blinis and pop a prawn on top
Delicious

Below:
Everything packed up ready to take to Granddaughter Sophia's 18th Birthday
Seems like it was months ago she was this beautiful baby
I also provided some Pinwheels with an Italian Flavour, Tomato, Basil and Pecorino Cheese and 
Little mushroom filled bread cases
We just warmed them up
All perfect with drinks
