‘Camarão com Catupiry na Moranga’
Written by Istrinya Aldo on July 1st, 2008
‘Camarão com Catupiry na Moranga’ (= Shrimp and ‘cream cheese’ in the pumpkin)
(’Catupiry’ is the trade mark of a kind of cream cheese from Brazil - you may use for instance Philadelphia cream cheese (also the taste is stronger than needed) - I guess the italian cheese ‘mascarpone’ would give better results)
This is a must for shrimp lovers!
Ingredients:
• Olive oil
• 1 Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• Tomatoes (if desired; 1 or 2 chopped)
• Shrimps (~500g)
• Cream cheese (~400g)
• Pumpkin-shaped squash (about 25-30 cm in diameter)
Directions
In a pan, put olive oil, add chopped onion and garlic, and fry.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until you have a ‘chunky’ sauce.
Add shrimps (use small ones, cleaned), mix, and cook only for a while.
Add the cream cheese, mix well, and pour the mixture into the squash (which will be your ‘pan’).
Bake (in low-medium heat) until squash is cooked (don’t let it overcook!).
When serving, take squash pulp together with the shrimp-cheese mixture.
Tip: use a ca. 25-30cm diameter squash (as short as possible). Take seeds out.
If needed, take part of pulp out - leave about a 3cm thick wall.
