Shrimp Filling

Mashed Yucca

Method

Prepare the Shrimp Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Shrimp

    Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for another 2 minutes. Then, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables and Seasoning

    Stir in the diced tomato, coconut milk, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Mashed Yucca

  1. 4

    Boil Yucca

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the chopped yucca. Cook until the yucca is tender, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash and Season

    Drain the yucca and return it to the pot. Add butter, milk, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 6

    Layer the Dish

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a baking dish, spread the shrimp filling evenly at the bottom. Top with the mashed yucca, smoothing it out with a spatula.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese and Paprika

    Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the yucca layer and dust with paprika.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Escondidinho de Camarão warm!
