The story behind

This recipe takes me straight to a relaxed outdoor dinner. What makes these salbutes special is the texture of the tortilla, which must remain soft but with that characteristic slight puffiness. Combining them with shrimp and the fresh touch of tomato is a winning choice. Served on a rustic tray and accompanied by plenty of cabbage, they are the perfect dish to share and enjoy the flavors of the sea at home with the traditional yucatecan flavor.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Prepare the dough by forming small balls and pressing them into tortillas that are not too thin.
  2. 2
    Fry the tortillas in hot oil just enough for them to puff up and stay soft, without letting them brown too much.
  3. 3
    Drain the excess oil and place the tortillas on the serving tray.
  4. 4
    Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, and place them generously on each salbute.
  5. 5
    Add a slice of fresh tomato on top of the shrimp.
  6. 6
    Serve with shredded cabbage on the side to provide freshness and a crunchy texture to the dish.
