Shrimp pastel is a savory pastry originating from Brazilian cuisine, often served as a snack or appetizer. It features a golden, crispy, thin pastry shell filled with a rich mixture of shrimp, vegetables like tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers, and sometimes creamy ingredients like cheese or a béchamel-style sauce. While its deep-fried preparation can add extra calories and fat, the dish provides valuable nutrients from the shrimp, including protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12. The mix of vegetables enhances the pastel’s nutrient profile with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Opting for baking instead of frying or using whole-grain pastry can make it a lighter option while retaining its delicious flavor. This irresistible snack is a flavorful representation of Brazilian street food, adored for its satisfying crunch and creamy, savory filling.
