  2.  In a medium sized sauté pan over medium high heat add a small amount of olive oil. Once pan is hot, but not smoking hot, add 3 lightly seasoned shrimp and a spoonful of soffrito. Sauté lightly until shrimp is cooked through and soffrito is lightly toasted. Finish with a piece of cold butter and a squeeze of lime folded in and if necessary a pinch of salt. Spoon 1 shrimp each (with soffrito) into 1 each monfonguito. Top with a spoonful of pico de gallo and a drizzle of garlic and cilantro sauces.
