The typical gastronomy of Rio Grande do Norte is also surprising for the richness of textures, flavors and seasonings. Thus, you can prepare the famous Vila Franca Shrimp Risotto with Jerimum Caboclo (squash variety) or, if you prefer, you may also try the dish at the restaurant Potiguar of Vila Galé Touros.

- 200 g of Vila Franca shrimp fillet (you can use regular shrimp)
