Festive Round Shrimp Cake with Egg and Dill
I love making these bite-sized shrimp cakes for special occasions, they always bring a touch of elegance to the table. The combination of tender shrimp, fresh dill, and rich egg is a match made in heaven. I serve them as an appetizer during the holidays, and they never fail to impress my guests. They're the perfect treat to kick off a festive evening, whether it's Christmas or New Year's Eve. These little cakes are sure to become a new family tradition.
