Pumpkin Selection
Choose a firm, ripe pumpkin of medium size. Butternut squash is a good alternative if you can't find a specific pumpkin variety.
Shrimp Preparation
Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Ensure they are properly cleaned and deveined.
Creamy Sauce Consistency
Adjust the amount of cream or coconut milk to achieve the desired sauce consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the shrimp but not too heavy.
Cheese Gratin (Optional)
If adding cheese, use a good quality melting cheese like mozzarella or provolone for a golden and bubbly top.
