Calculation basis
Item weights and household measures are estimated. Unless specified: milk with 1.5% fat, cream with 30% fat and Gouda cheese. Optional ingredients, small amounts of seasoning and separately listed side dishes are excluded. For imprecise entries, the amounts below and comparable reference products are assumed. For alternatives, the first listed ingredient is used. Cooking losses have not been measured.
Calculated estimate using the reference foods below. Substitute products, item weights and consumed fractions are assumptions. Ordinary cooking oil and marinades are counted in full; frying oil, coatings, bones and whole roasts use the stated factors. The higher serving count is used for ranges. Actual product values and cooking losses have not been measured. Varying only the listed quantity assumptions gives 200–315 kcal per unit stated above. This is neither a measured range nor a statistical confidence interval.

Ingredients
- 120 g very small ready-to-cook prawns, coarsely chopped if necessary
- 100 g wheat flour
- 60 g chickpea flour
- 260-300ml cold water
- 3 spring onions
- 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- 500 ml neutral oil for shallow frying
Instructions
- Mix flour and salt, stir with 260 ml cold water until smooth. The dough should be very thin, add remaining water if necessary.
- Finely chop the spring onions, stir in the parsley and small shrimps. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a wide pan to a height of about 1 cm to 175 °C.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, quickly spread into flat, irregular flat cakes and deep-fry in small portions for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy; turn carefully.
- Degrease briefly on kitchen paper. Serve immediately hot, while the thin edge is particularly crispy.
Tips
- The flatbreads must remain thin - dough that is too thick results in soft pancakes instead of tortillitas.
- Traditional camarones are tiny coastal prawns; Chopped small North Sea prawns or prawns are a clearly named substitute.
