Ingredients
2 servings
- 175 gr shrimp, cooked, de-veined and peeled
- 1 large tomato, peeled, cut in small cubes
- 1/2 cubanelle pepper, cut in small pieces. (Cubanelle peppers are light green to yellow colored with a sweet and mild flavor. They are like an elongated bell pepper).
- 2 fresh green onions, chopped, white parts only
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 2 tbsp cream
- 1 tsp butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Topping:
- 1 tsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 100 ml milk, warm
- 1/4 cup Kasar cheese or Mozzarella cheese, grated
Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl. Divide into 2 individual ovenproof bowls. Put aside.
- To make the topping melt the butter in a small pot. Add the flour, stir and slowly pour the warm milk in it while stirring constantly. The milk and flour should blend very well. (It is possible to use an egg beater).
- Turn the heat off. Toss the grated cheese in it. Cover the shrimp with this topping in the bowls.(Please note that if you use cold milk, the sauce may curdle).
- Place the bowls on the oven tray. Preheat to 200 C (400 F). Cook until the tops take a golden colour.
- Serve Shrimp Gratin as an entree with a spoon because all the juice will come out.
