Shrimp Bobó: Get to Know the Origin of this Delicious Dish

Have you, who enjoyed learning how to make this delicious dish that is the simple shrimp bobó, ever heard of its origin story?

Like many other meals that exist in Brazil, this recipe traditionally originates from Africa and was brought to our people during colonial times. The shrimp bobó that we are most familiar with is the one that uses cassava (yucca), originated in Bahia and with indigenous traces, but some of its ingredients show its true African cultural influence, such as palm oil and pepper. In addition to cassava, cilantro is another ingredient in bobó that has Bahian traces, and therefore it can be concluded that this recipe presented on the page has Afro-Brazilian origins.

A curiosity about the shrimp bobó is that in some other states, its preparation undergoes modifications, nothing that makes it lose its essence, but people have been adapting the cuisine and taking inspiration from the original dish. There are places where palm oil is replaced by olive oil, to give a "milder" flavor, and coconut milk is also discarded, or a smaller amount is used. The famous "Bahia seasoning" is very tasty, but not everyone is used to this type of meal, with a very strong flavor.

As the preparation method involves blending or leaving the cassava as a kind of puree, some culinary enthusiasts consider this shrimp bobó recipe in this way. Regardless of its preparation, the fact is that this dish is adored by many Brazilians and has become part of the gastronomy of the northeastern region of our country.
