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 special 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 garlic pressed through a garlic press and the remaining lemon juice. Divide the filling among the pears, pressing it into the cavities. Place the whole shrimp and a piece of cheese on top. 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 dish from the oven. Arrange the pears on plates, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the spicy mixture.
