Shrimp Quality
Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor. Devein the shrimp thoroughly to remove any bitterness.
Catupiry Authenticity
If possible, use authentic Catupiry cheese for the most authentic flavor and texture. If unavailable, a similar creamy cheese can be substituted, but the result may differ slightly.
Mashed Potato Perfection
Ensure your mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy. Use butter, milk, or cream to achieve the desired consistency. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a touch of nutmeg.
Browning the Top
Broil the escondidinho for a few minutes before serving to create a golden-brown, slightly crispy top. This adds a textural contrast to the creamy filling.
Consider different vegetables
Adding vegetables like corn, peas, or palm hearts to the shrimp mixture can elevate the flavor and texture.
