The dominant flavor is, of course, crab, with its sweet and slightly briny taste. This is complemented by the richness of coconut milk or cream, often combined with butter or olive oil to create a luxurious base. Common seasonings include onions, garlic, tomatoes, bell peppers, cilantro, parsley, and pimenta malagueta (Brazilian chili pepper) for a touch of heat. Some variations incorporate other seafood like shrimp or cod.
Funzionalità Premium
Crab Quality
Use fresh, high-quality crab meat for the best flavor. Avoid overly processed or canned crab meat if possible.
Coconut Milk Consistency
The consistency of the coconut milk or cream can significantly affect the dish's texture. Adjust the amount to achieve desired creaminess.
Baking Time
Avoid overbaking the casquinhas, as this can dry out the crab meat. They should be lightly golden and bubbly on top.
Shells
If using actual crab shells, thoroughly clean and sterilize them before using.
