Stuffed tomatoes for a snack

Stuffed tomatoes for a snack is a great option for a youth party or buffet. They look very appetizing, even festive, and are prepared simply and quickly. It is also impossible not to note the lightness of such an appetizer: you will not find meat or poultry in the composition of tomato fillings. But there are a lot of fresh vegetables: juicy, fragrant, healthy! It should be noted that we offer two options for snacks: one is strictly vegetarian, with cheese, and the other is with shrimp. So most likely you will please everyone! Remember that these stuffed tomatoes should be kept in the refrigerator before serving in the refrigerator: this way they will keep better and become even tastier.
