Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh shrimp at local fish markets. Requeijão (catupiry) can be found in specialized Latin American grocery stores; as a substitute, high-quality cream cheese or labneh can be used if necessary.
Preparation method
- Season the shrimp with salt and garlic, then 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 the color changes. Remove the shrimp and set aside in a baking dish.
- In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if necessary, followed by the creamy requeijão. Stir until it begins to melt.
- Incorporate the heavy cream into the requeijão, stirring well until you reach a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Adjust the salt to your preference.
- Pour the hot cream mixture over the reserved shrimp in the baking dish.
- If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Place in a preheated oven at high temperature to gratin for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
