Where to find ingredients
Find fresh shrimp at local fishmongers or supermarkets. Prato cheese and Requeijão are traditional Brazilian products; if unavailable, substitute Prato with mild Gouda or Havarti, and Requeijão with a high-quality cream cheese or spreadable processed cheese.

- 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 reaching the desired consistency
