tagAlt.gamberi rossi con Piave

Who ever decided that cheese and seafood can't be best friends at the table? This refined dish featuring Piave DOP cheese and succulent fresh red prawns defies the old culinary myth, bringing together the delicate flavors of the sea with the rich, nutty notes of one of Italy’s celebrated cheeses.

A staple of Venetian tradition, Piave DOP Mezzano is a semi-aged cheese with a creamy texture and a distinct, slightly sweet flavor that perfectly complements the sweet, briny taste of red prawns. This recipe transforms a few high-quality ingredients into a vibrant appetizer or, if you wish, an elegant main course. Serve it with artisanal crackers or rustic bread to soak up every drop of flavor.

Elevate the dish further by adding a touch of lemon zest or fresh herbs such as basil or mint—both classic Mediterranean accents that intensify the freshness. The interplay between the cheese, seafood, and these lively flavors makes this recipe irresistible, especially during the summer months.

Clean and Prep the Red Prawns

Begin by gently cleaning the red prawns: remove the heads and shells, taking care to leave the tails attached for a visually appealing presentation. Proper cleaning ensures a sweet, clean flavor in your final dish and highlights the prawn’s natural texture.

Slice Piave DOP and Season the Seafood

Using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, create paper-thin slices of Piave DOP Mezzano cheese. Arrange the prepared prawns on a platter and drizzle with high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors.
