30 minutes

Chili peppers stuffed with eggs, leeks, and shrimp are a refined dish that combines spiciness and tenderness. The spicy pepper shell contrasts with the softness of the creamy shrimp and leek filling enriched with sherry aroma. This dish may draw inspiration from Mediterranean cuisine, where seafood harmoniously coexists with vibrant vegetables and exquisite sauces. Baked peppers acquire a rich flavor while their texture remains tender. The dish is perfect as an appetizer or a main treat for gourmets who love a balance of flavors. Serve with a glass of white wine to highlight the seafood notes of the shrimp and caramel hints of sherry.
