Boston’s Best Restaurants for Brazilian Food | Eater Boston

"Bobo de camarao is a popular dish from the Bahia region in northeastern Brazil. It epitomizes the sweet, creamy, seafood-focused cuisine of the area. Bahia is on the Atlantic coast, and the region contains plentiful coconut groves, hence the creamy, seafood-focused nature of its cuisine. During the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, Bahia was a center of sugarcane cultivation, and the region was complicit in the Atlantic slave trade. As such, its cuisine was and continues to be heavily influenced by West African cuisine. This Bahian favorite is made with cassava puree, onions, peppers, tomatoes, coconut milk, and palm oil, and has shrimp piled high on top at BR Takeout. BR Takeout in Framingham is open for indoor dining, takeout, and delivery." - Tommy Ranucci
