How to make Tuna and Shrimp Mousse

  1. Step 1

    Drain the tuna, removing all the water, and place it in a blender. Process until you achieve a smooth paste.

  2. Step 2

    Hydrate the unflavored gelatin with the water and heat over low heat until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add the plain yogurt, golf sauce, dissolved gelatin, and lightly whipped heavy cream to the tuna paste. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.

  4. Step 4

    Pour half of the mixture into a tube-shaped mold (bundt pan) previously greased with oil. Refrigerate until it solidifies.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the mold from the refrigerator and add the cleaned shrimp, covering them with the remaining tuna mixture.

  6. Step 6

    Return the mold to the refrigerator for about four hours or until it is firm.

  7. Step 7

    To unmold the mousse, briefly dip the mold in warm water.
