Spinach & Shrimp Turnovers
Appetizer
Serves 4-6.
- 20 large spinach leaves
- 18 shrimp (steamed) cleaned, deveined, peeled
- ¹⁄8 cup butter (unsalted & softened)
- 1 tsp capers
- 2 anchovy fillets packed in oil
Wash spinach leaves and cook in boiling water for 30 seconds, drain, dry well and leave in a colander to drain. Chop anchovies and capers together. Place in a bowl the butter, chopped capers and anchovies. Blend together with wooden spoon. Separate the spinach leaves. On a plate fold out one leaf at a time and place a small about 1 tsp of butter mixture topped with some shrimp pieces. Fold leaf over so you have a sack or turnover.
