Eggplant tower with burrata cheese and shrimp 

A nice vegetarian tower, very good and elegant, to amaze our guests with a truly original and fresh side dish. If you are not a phenomenon in the kitchen, but you have a special guest at dinner and you have to make a good impression, this baked eggplant tower with burrata and shrimp is the dish for you. 🤩 

A food that adapts to first courses, main courses, appetizers and side dishes, is certainly the eggplant. Who does not know, for example, the eggplant parmigiana? A very famous Italian dish, with excellent fillings, the eggplant in chunks, there is to really indulge in the execution of recipes with this vegetable. In summer, for example, I love to prepare them in breaded cutlets and inside them put mozzarella and prosciutto, also eaten cold are an excellent appetizer.

Today I show it to you in a different, fresh way, a particular appetizer, which tastes of summer, of the scents of that season, a tower reminiscent of a parmigiana, with its wonderful ingredients, eggplant, burrata, and basil... I prepared it like this, but if you want to add a little tomato sauce in the cooking of eggplant, it will really be like a small parmigiana. Run to see all the steps to make it, try it and then let me know if in the end it helped you to impress. 💘🥰 

Ingredients for two 

1 Black eggplant 

6 Prawns

150 g Burrata cheese

Extra virgin olive oil to taste

Procedure

Cut the eggplants into slices about 1 cm thick and place them on an oiled baking sheet greasing them on both sides. Bake them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about fifty minutes (remember to turn them halfway through cooking.) Meanwhile, clean the shrimp and put them to marinate for half an hour with a dash of oil. As soon as the aubergines are ready, arrange the first slice on a serving plate (I put a basil-scented tomato puree as a base, but even without putting anything they are delicious!) Then add the burrata and the shrimp drained from the marinade cut into small pieces. Cover with another slice of eggplant and repeat the order of ingredients until your tower collapses. 😂 Enjoy your meal 😋
