Where to find ingredients
Find fresh shrimp at local fish markets or supermarkets. For the creamy processed cheese (requeijão), look for spreadable cream cheese products in the dairy aisle; if unavailable, a high-quality thick cream cheese or Greek-style labneh can serve as a substitute for the desired consistency.
Preparation method
- Season the shrimp with salt and garlic and set aside.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan and sauté the grated onion until translucent.
- Add the seasoned shrimp to the pan and cook for a few minutes, just until they change color. Remove the shrimp and set aside in a baking dish.
- In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then add the creamy processed cheese. Stir until it begins to melt.
- Incorporate the heavy cream into the cheese, mixing well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous cream.
- Adjust salt to taste.
- Pour the hot cream mixture over the shrimp reserved in the baking dish.
- If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Place in a preheated oven at a high temperature to gratin for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
