SHRIMP BOBO
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.

Steps:
- Season the shrimp with lemon, salt and pepper.
- Peel the cassava, wash and cut it into 2 inch pieces.
- Cover with water and salt to taste.
- Cook the cassava until it's soft (some kinds of cassava may require a pressure cooker for about 15 minutes, others will just about melt in a few minutes).
- Drain.
- While still warm (not hot), remove center fiber and beat the cassava gradually alternating with 3 cups of coconut milk in a blender.
- Reserve.
- Cover bottom of casserole with oil.
- Add onion, garlic and red pepper.
- Cook for about 5 minutes or until onion is transparent and pepper cooked.
- Add tomatoes, parsley; cook until tomatoes are soft.
- Drain shrimp and add to tomato mixture, cook covered until it becomes pink.
- Add the cassava cream and bring to a boil.
- If needed add more coconut milk, mixture should resemble a heavy white sauce.
- Test salt and pepper and add more if needed.
- Add a few drops of orange food coloring.
- The Bobó should have a light orange color.
- Please note, after the cassava cream comes to a boil, work quickly as you don't want to overcook the shrimp.
- Serve with plain white, fluffy rice.
- I always have a bottle of Tabasco on the table for pepper lovers.

- Blanching: To peel a tomato, first use your paring knife to cut out the stem. Then slice a shallow X in the bottom end. Using a slotted spoon, plunge the tomato into boiling water for about 20 seconds, then plunge it into a bowl of iced water. This will stop the tomato from cooking and further loosen the skin. Remove the cooled tomato and peel away the skin.
- In a medium bowl, season the shrimp with salt and ground pepper. Drizzle with the juice of 1 lime. Reserve in the fridge.
- In a large pot, pour enough water to cover the peeled yuca or cassava, and sprinkle 1 Tbsp salt. Boil for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a large pan over medium-high heat sautée the onion and bell peppers in oil for about 3 minutes, stirring now and then. Add the tomatoes and sautée for 2 minutes more. Then, add the garlic and 1/4 cup green onions or cilantro. Sautée for about 30 seconds.
