Messin’s first challenge … Table 2 gave surprises to RTP spectators. The shrimp was the true protagonist of both preparations, but the competitor who knew how to enhance it at the best was Paolo Locurto. His “Macco and Mare”that is, a package characterized by the combination of Macco di Fave and Gambero, obtained a clear victory on the recipe of the challenging Carmelo Cacciola. The “surgical” precision in the preparation of the dish was worth the winning competitor with an overwhelming score of 94 to 65, which saw him prevail in all three voting categories, such as “preparation”, “taste” and “presentation”. And it was the latter category to have penalized a dish full of taste like the “courgettes and prawns” pennettes of Carmelo.
