Where to find ingredients
Find the ingredients in the fresh seafood section, dairy aisle, and produce section of local supermarkets or neighborhood markets. If needed, ask for a substitute for catupiry-style requeijão in the chilled cheeses case.
Preparation method
- Season the shrimp with salt and garlic. Set aside.
- In a pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the grated onion until translucent.
- Add the seasoned shrimp to the pan with the onion and cook for a few minutes, just until it changes colour. Remove the shrimp and set aside in an ovenproof dish.
- In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if needed, then the creamy requeijão. Stir until it starts to melt.
- Add the cream to the requeijão, mixing well until you get a smooth cream.
- Adjust the salt to taste.
- Pour the hot cream over the reserved shrimp in the ovenproof dish.
- If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Place in a preheated oven at high temperature and gratinate for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
