Baked Pear with Shrimp and Cheese

Preparation:

1. Cut the pears in half and remove the cores with a spoon. From the opposite side, cut off a small amount of flesh so that the pears stand steadily. Drizzle the pears with half of the lemon juice. Fry in 20 g of butter on both sides for 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pears to a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
2. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise, but not all the way through. Each shrimp should open like a “book.” Fry in butter for 1–1.5 minutes on each side.
3. Finely chop the remaining shrimp and mix with the pressed garlic and the remaining lemon juice. Divide the filling among the pears, pressing it into the cavities. Top with the whole shrimp and a piece of cheese. Bake in an oven at 180°C for 7–10 minutes.
4. Finely chop the cilantro and grind it in a mortar with salt and pepper. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange the pears on plates, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the spicy mixture.
