Bobó de camarão
Bobó de camarão, sometimes referred to as shrimp bobó in English, is a chowder-like Brazilian dish of shrimp in a purée of manioc meal with coconut milk and other ingredients. Like many similar dishes, it is flavored with palm oil, called dendê in Brazilian Portuguese and is traditionally served with white rice, but may also be treated as a standalone side dish. On the state of Espirito Santo due to Italian influences olive oil is used instead of palm oil. Shrimp bobó is nearly identical to the West African dish Ipetê, and is one of the many iconic recipes from the Bahia region of Brazil, which is known for its heavy Afro-Brazilian characteristics.
