  3. Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Chop the prawns roughly, keep a few pieces intact for garnishing if you like.
  4. In a bowl, mix cream cheese and sour cream. Add dill, chives, and some citrus zest if you like, for an extra fresh taste. Salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Remove the gelatin sheets from the water. Melt them gently in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the gelatin into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Add the shrimps and combine them. Spread the mixture over the pie crust. Let it set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  7. Garnish with thinly sliced lemon and/or lime, roe and chives or dill.

Tip!

Freshly grated horseradish or a pinch of cayenne pepper also works great as a flavor enhancer in the shrimp cheesecake. You can also use flavored cream cheese with herbs or pink pepper.
