Ingredients

• Tiger shrimp in brine - 2 lbs
• Garlic - 7 cloves
• Mild Chili Spice - 0.1 oz
• Butter - 1.1 oz
• Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese - 2.8 oz
• 33% Cream - 17 fl oz

• Olive Oil - 1 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a blender, combine parsley, basil, olive oil, lemon juice, and 2 cloves of garlic until it reaches a paste-like consistency, but not too smooth.

Step 2

In a saucepan, heat the butter, add the minced garlic and chili pepper, and sauté for thirty seconds, stirring constantly.

Step 3

Peel the shrimp, leaving only the tails, and be sure to remove the digestive tract. Add them to a saucepan. Once they turn pink, add the pesto, mix everything thoroughly, and while constantly stirring, let it soak for one minute.

Step 4

Add cream and a little hot water to keep the dish from being too rich. Season with salt and pepper to taste, let it simmer for a minute, then add finely grated Parmesan cheese, which will thicken the sauce; allow it to fully dissolve. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy it with your favorite bread, dipping it into the sauce.
