I can exciting Brazilian Prawn dish “Bobò de Camarao”

One of my favourite Brazilian recipes is “Bobò de Camarao” a mashed dish with Prawns. It is full different colours, tastes and perfumes.

I am sure that your family and your friends/guests will enjoy this great tropical dish.

I advice a Chilled perfumed white wine, like the Traminer.

Once again, first and foremost, remember that the quality of the ingredients equals the quality of the dish.

Here's the shopping list:
