Chef Tips
Variations
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with grated cheese on top to form an even crispier and golden crust. - Add 1/2 chopped ripe tomato without seeds to the shrimp sauté to add reddish color to the cream. - Finish each shell after gratinating with whole shrimp sautéed in olive oil resting on the melted cheese.
Substitutions
- O leite de coco pode ser substituído por requeijão culinário cremoso ou creme de leite fresco com uma pitada de sal. - O queijo muçarela ralado pode ser trocado por queijo parmesão ralado na hora ou queijo canastra meia cura. - O azeite de oliva pode ser substituído por manteiga de garrafa ou manteiga comum com sal no refogado.
How to Store
Store the baked shells in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 2 days. Reheat in an electric oven at 170°C for 8 minutes to restore heat and soften the cheese, avoiding the microwave which softens the base.
Can You Freeze It?
Freeze the shells already filled with cheese before gratinating for up to 45 days in the freezer, well wrapped in plastic wrap. Bake directly in the preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
What to Serve With
Serve with fresh lemon or lime wedges, drops of house hot sauce, and crispy cassava farofa. It pairs very well with glasses of chilled brut sparkling wine, Chardonnay white wine, or pilsner beer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cone to use to assemble the recipe?
You can use sanitized natural crab shells, edible puff pastry shells, or ceramic ramekins.
How to prevent the shrimp filling from leaking in the oven?
Cook the coconut milk for 10 minutes over low heat until reduced and thickened before filling the shells.
Posso utilizar camarão miúdo tipo sete-barbas nesta casquinha?
Sim, camarões miúdos são muito práticos e se distribuem de maneira uniforme em cada colherada do aperitivo.
Should the grated cheese be fine or coarse to gratin better?
Finely grated cheese melts and forms a golden and uniform crust more quickly under the heat of the oven.
