Notes
Usa parmesano recién rallado para mejor textura, añade un toque de cayena si te gusta el picante, o hierbas frescas como perejil o eneldo para más frescor. Si usas brochetas de madera, remójalas 20 minutos antes de cocinar. Sirve con ensaladas, arroz o como aperitivo con tus salsas favoritas.
