On Krk they are classically served either with a goulash of beef or game or with Kvarner scampi, one inland-style pairing and one straight from the sea.
Short tubes of egg pasta are hand-rolled around a thin wooden or metal rod, then boiled and tossed with goulash-style meat sauce or seafood. It's native to the island of Krk and served at tavernas and island fešte across Kvarner.
Why it's made this way: Šurlice developed on Krk in relative isolation from the mainland, giving it a shape and name distinct from similar hand-rolled pastas elsewhere on the Croatian coast.
