Once shrimps are cooked add the tuna together with the brine and mix. Let it simmer for at least two minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Add four cups of heavy cream and quick melted cheese. Let the cheese melt, making the sauce thicker, for about 3-4 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Transfer the cooked pasta into an oven-safe container. Top everything with the remaining cup of heavy cream and grated mozzarella. Bake in a preheated 176°C oven for about 30 minutes. or until the cheese has fully melted. When done, remove from the oven.
