Description

This rustic cake with shrimp and zucchini is a true triumph of Mediterranean flavors! The combination of fresh shrimp, tender zucchini, and creamy rice, wrapped in a crispy puff pastry, makes it perfect for a family lunch or an outdoor picnic. The preparation is quick and easy, also ideal for those who do not have much experience in the kitchen. I often prepare it in the spring, when the zucchini are at their best. A tip? Serve it lukewarm, accompanied by a fresh salad. A single dish that will conquer everyone!
