🇧🇷 Brazil recipe
Bobó de Camarão
One of Bahia's most refined dishes, bobó de camarão features plump shrimp swimming in a thick, velvety purée of cassava, coconut milk, and dendê palm oil. The cassava dissolves into a creamy base that is lighter than cream yet richer than broth, while the dendê oil provides the signature Bahian color and earthy depth.
