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 (or cassava) meal with coconut milk, herbs, ginger, and other ingredients. Origin. Shrimp bobó is nearly identical to the West African dish "Ipetê", and it is one of the many iconic recipes from the Bahia region of Brazil, which is known for its heavy Afro-Brazilian characteristics. The name bobó comes from the Fon word "bovô." Preparation. Like many similar dishes, it is flavored with palm oil, called "dendê" in Brazilian Portuguese. It  is traditionally served with white rice, but it may also be served with another manioc dish called "pirão" or with the ritual Candomblé dish "acaçá". It can also be treated as a standalone side dish. In the state of Espírito Santo, due to Italian influences, olive oil is used instead of palm oil.
