Broth:

2. Then add the water along with the parsley stalks, onion, tomato and black peppercorns.
3. Once done, reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes, and the broth should not boil during this time. After turning off the heat, strain the broth and set aside.

Filling:

1. Now in a frying pan over high heat, add the olive oil and unsalted butter, brown the shrimp and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, add the olive oil and place over medium heat. Once heated, sauté the chopped onion and garlic, stir and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Then add the chopped tomatoes, shrimp broth and the remaining ingredients. Cook for 15 minutes.
4. Then add and mix the fried shrimp, letting them cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Finalization:

1. Finally, preheat your oven (200ºC). Pour the filling into the pumpkin.
2. Then, add a spoonful of fresh Minas cheese cream on top of the filling, covering it carefully.
