Where to find ingredients
Find fresh shrimp at local fishmongers or supermarkets. Prato and requeijão are Brazilian staples; if unavailable, substitute prato with Havarti or mild Gouda, and replace requeijão with cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream to achieve the proper texture.
Preparation method
- Heat a pan and sauté the garlic in olive oil until golden.
- Add the shrimp and sauté until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Add the fresh and dried herbs, mix well, and let the flavors meld for a few minutes.
- Season with salt, mustard, and tomato paste, stirring to incorporate the flavors.
- Arrange the cheese slices over the shrimp, being careful not to let them stick to the bottom of the pan.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little boiling water bit by bit until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cheeses have melted, add the creamy requeijão and the table cream, mixing thoroughly.
- As soon as the sauce begins to simmer, turn off the heat.
- Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
