Cacho-e-pepe with shrimps
1 serving
30 minutes
Shrimp cacio e pepe is an elegant and refined dish inspired by classic Italian pasta. Traditionally, cacio e pepe consists of simple ingredients: pecorino cheese and black pepper. However, the addition of tender shrimp gives it a seafood twist and enriches the flavor. The aromatic blend of black, pink, and green pepper reveals the complexity of spices, creating a mild heat. Chicken broth adds depth to the taste, while butter makes the texture velvety. This version is especially great for seafood lovers looking to try something new.
