SHRIMP BOBO



Shrimp Bobo image

This recipe originated in the state of Bahia, Brazil. It's an adapted ''cooler'' version which my family loves instead of the ''hot'' pepper version. This recipe is always a success; however I hesitated a lot to put it on the Zaar because the consistency and the cooking time of the cassava can vary a lot and I don't know which type you will find where you live. I always compensate by using more or less coconut milk. This recipe is definitely not for beginners. I finally decided to post when Jan S requested it for her Brazilian night. Optional: I cook about 2 cups of well washed shrimp shells and heads (black eyes removed) with 3 tablespoons of onion, 2 cups of water for about 10/15 minutes. Drain and save the water. Put through food processor using as little water as possible. Sieve and reserve. Add about 1/2 cup right after you cooked the tomatoes but before you put the shrimp in; cook a couple of minutes. It adds great flavor. Original Brazilian recipe calls for fresh Cilantro leaves instead of parsley, I prefer parsley. It also calls for 1/2 cup of dende oil which my family doesn't like, I use corn and olive oils. However, as the dende oil gives the dish a nice light orange color, I use some drops of food coloring (any Brazilian reading this, forgive me, but it works). Cassava: some will cook very quickly, others may be tougher and you will need to cook in a pressure cooker for about 15 minutes. When selecting the cassava, look for the ones that the skin will come off easily when pulled, they are usually the soft kind.

SHRIMP PO'BOY



Shrimp Po'Boy image

Many believe that brothers Benny and Clovis Martin created the first version of a po'boy as a free meal for striking New Orleans streetcar drivers in 1929. According to legend, the Martins would say "Here comes another poor boy!" when someone approached for a sandwich, which was half a French bread loaf stuffed with fillings like fried shrimp and oysters.

Time 30m

Yield 4 shrimp po'boys

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon hot sauce (preferably Louisiana-style)
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and patted dry
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced dill pickles
2 tablespoons minced shallot or sweet onion
2 teaspoons hot sauce (preferably Louisiana- style), plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 French-bread rolls, split
Shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp: Whisk the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together the milk and hot sauce in a large bowl; add the shrimp. Working in batches, remove the shrimp from the milk mixture, letting the excess drip off, and add to the bowl with the flour mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate 15 minutes to let the coating set.
  • Meanwhile, make the rémoulade: Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, shallot and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry the shrimp: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360˚ F. Working in batches, fry the shrimp until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet with a slotted spoon; season with salt. Adjust the heat as needed between batches.
  • Meanwhile, put the rolls on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Spread the rémoulade on the cut sides and fill with lettuce, the shrimp and tomatoes. Serve with more hot sauce.

Tips:

  • To save time, use frozen shrimp that has been thawed and deveined.
  • If you don't have coconut cream, you can make your own by blending 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut with 1/2 cup of water until smooth.
  • Serve Shrimp Bobo with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Conclusion:

Shrimp Bobo is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of shrimp, coconut milk, and spices creates a rich and creamy sauce that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer or a main course, Shrimp Bobo is sure to be a hit.
