The basis of puff baskets called "Delight" is puff pastry. There are various recipes for making puff pastry. One of the recipes is yeast-free puff pastry. We take 6 glasses of flour and pour them on a clean, dry, kitchen table. Softened margarine for baking, cut into cubes and add to the flour. Mix everything with your hands until smooth. Then pour 1.5 cups of water into a small bowl, add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and the same amount of citric acid. In the flour mass we make holes and, pouring a little water into them, as if we collect lumps with our palms (but do not knead). We do this until the water runs out. We collect everything in a single lump, wrap in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for the night.
The next step is to prepare the baskets. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and cut into squares, focusing on the size of the mold. Moisten the molds with water, put the squares from the dough in them, and remove the excess. Cover with baking paper and sprinkle dried beans to shape.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake puff baskets for 7 minutes. Allow to cool, then remove the baskets from the molds.
Now prepare the filling. Boil the potatoes in their skins, peel and cut into small cubes. Boil shrimps in salted water, sprinkle with lemon juice, peel and cut. Peel the orange and cut into small slices. Fresh cucumber can be grated or finely chopped. Grate the cheese. Finely chop the greens. Mix everything with mayonnaise.
In each puff basket put a filling with a spoon, decorate with olive or olives, a small piece of orange, a whole shrimp on top.
Put the puff baskets on a dish with lettuce and pickled vegetables.
