Ingredients

Semolina
1l chicken broth
2 dl cooking cream
100 g butter
1 garlic clove
1 cup (2 dl) of wheat or corn semolina

Shrimps

50 g butter

4 scallions

2 garlic cloves

1 kg shrimp tails (peeled and cleaned)

1 dl dry white wine

150 g Pivac Karst Cured Pork Neck (cut into thin slices)

¼ parsley bouquet

¼ chives bouquet

Preparation

Semolina

Bring the chicken broth in which you have added the cooking cream, butter and garlic to a boil. Remove from the stove and stir in the semolina. Put back on the stove and cook stirring constantly for 5 to 6 minutes.

Shrimps

Melt the butter in a large bowl on moderate heat. Sauté[1] the scallions and garlic for about 5 minutes, raise the heat and add the shrimps. Use a draining spoon (with holes) to take the shrimps out and then add white wine. When the sauce gets as thick as syrup, put the shrimps back in. Shape the semolina into cups, press the Karst Cured Pork Neck on it to make a hole, put the shrimps in the center and serve.
