Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh ingredients at local supermarkets or the WCTC shopping center in Palau. Requeijão cremoso is a traditional Brazilian cream cheese; if unavailable, a thick, full-fat spreadable cream cheese can serve as a substitute. Use local fresh-caught shrimp for the best texture.
Preparation method
- Heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the garlic in olive oil until golden.
- Add the shrimp and sauté until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Stir in the fresh and dried herbs, mixing well to allow the flavors to meld for a few minutes.
- Season with salt, mustard, and tomato paste, stirring thoroughly to combine.
- Distribute the cheese slices over the shrimp, taking care to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- If the sauce thickens too much, add a small splash of boiling water gradually until reaching the desired consistency.
- Once the cheeses have melted, stir in the requeijão cremoso and table cream, mixing well.
- As soon as the sauce begins to bubble, remove the pan from the heat.
- Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
