This shrimp recipe is a traditional Brazilian recipe that is simply delicious and it has a great look.
The recipe calls for a medium pumpkin, but on the picture below you can see mini pumpkin - this day I preferred
to use them, so I could serve them individually.
Ingredients:
1 medium pumpkin
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimps, peeled and deveined
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups cream cheese
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon wheat flour
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Salt and pepper
Directions:
- 1. Wash and scrub the pumpkin well. Cut the top off to a cover shape; remove all the seeds. Wrap the
pumpkin with aluminium foil; place in a baking pan and put it in preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook it until when you stick a
toothpick in and it is soft. Set aside.
- 2. Season shrimps with salt and minced garlic. In a saucepan heat olive oil, sauté onion until transparent. Add tomato
sauce and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in flour dissolved in the milk.
- 3. Add shrimps and cook for around 7 minutes. Add whipping cream and parsley. Correct the salt if necessary and season
with pepper.
- 4. Distribute the cream cheese with a spoon into the pumpkin, then pour the shrimp cream inside pumpkin.
- 5. Bring the pumpkin back to oven (wrapped with aluminium foil to avoid that the skin of the pumpkin gets scorched).
Bake it at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
- 6. Serve it with rice.
Enjoy your meal !!
