Chef Tips

- Examine the shredded crab meat with your fingers before preparation to remove any shell or cartilage residue. - Saute the crab meat until excess liquid evaporates in the pan before pouring into the baking dish to bake. - Adjust the oven rack to the top position during the last 5 minutes to brown the crust perfectly.

Variations

- Assemble the filling directly inside cleaned crab shells or individual scallop shells for classic beach-style service. - Add 1 tablespoon of palm oil to the sauté to give an orange color and typical Bahian notes. - Add 1 teaspoon of finely chopped finger chili to give a slight heat to the creamy filling.

Substitutions

- Pure crab meat can be substituted with fresh shredded crab meat or shredded white fish meat. - The grated Parmesan cheese can be swapped for artisanal semi-cured cheese or finely grated mozzarella cheese. - Breadcrumbs can be replaced with toasted fine cassava flour for a very Brazilian topping.

How to Store

Store the baked shell in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes to restore the crunchiness of the breadcrumb coating and the melting of the grated cheese.

Can You Freeze It?

It can be frozen assembled before gratinating for up to 60 days in the freezer, covered with double plastic wrap. Bake the shell directly from the freezer in a preheated oven at 180°C, adding 10 minutes to the regular time.

What to Serve With

Serve hot accompanied by fresh lime wedges to squeeze at the moment, dendê farofa, and drops of hot sauce. Pairs perfectly with a very cold light craft beer or lemon caipirinha.

Drizzle the crab meat with half a lemon's juice and let drain in a sieve for 5 minutes before starting the sauté.

Does the crab shell (casquinha de siri) get soft if it has too much coconut milk?
