Casquinha de Siri is a traditional Brazilian dish originating from the coastal regions, celebrated for its rich blend of seafood flavors. This appetizer features crab meat sautéed with onions, garlic, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and seasonings, often enriched with coconut milk or cream for a silky texture. It’s typically served in a natural crab shell or ramekin and browned in the oven for a crisp finish. While Casquinha de Siri provides a good source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the crab meat, its healthiness depends on preparation methods. Cream and oil-based ingredients may raise its fat content, and those watching sodium levels should be mindful of added salt. For a lighter version, opt for minimal oil and skip heavy creams. This flavorful treat is a testament to the vibrant seafood cuisine of Brazil’s coastal heritage.
