Hi folks
I'm sending you two recipes very popular in Brazil. I've already put some photos on the general board/ show us where you live.
Here is a photo of a flowering silk cotton tree just as I can see it from my favorite sunning place on the veranda:
The nearest beach is about 500 km away but I'll show a pic of Cabo Frio (state Rio de Janeiro) where we us to be on our summer vacations.

Crab scallop- shells
(shells the same kind as appear as symbol of shell gasoline – other shells may do, including the shells that cover the top of the crabs)
Ingredients for 8 shells:
500 gr crab meat
1 middle sized onion, cut in small pieces
1 “tooth” (meaning each of the parts fo a whole garlic) of garlic cut in small pieces
6 branches of parsley
100 gr. Pure olive oil
8 green olives cut in small pieces
1 soupspoon of Dende oil (fruit of the Dende palm – leave out if not available)
50 ml white dry wine
juice of 1 lemon
100 gr grated Parmesan cheese
100 ml coconut milk (if not available can be made by putting the liquid and the white part of a coconut in a blender to liquefy)
8 black olives (for decoration)
8 shells
Salt and red or cayenne pepper as much as liked
Cook crab meat for 5 minutes, drain and discart cartilages. In a pot at middle flame mix the olive oil, garlic, onion, parsley and green olives. Put the flame low and add dende oil, wine, lemon juice , pepper, salt, crab meat, coconut milk and half of the Parmesan. Taste it to find the exact amount of salt and pepper.
Let it grow cold and then, fill the shells with it. Cover with the rest of the cheese, put the shells in the oven at 200 degree Celsius for 4 minutes. Decorate with black olive and serve each one next to a quarter of fresh lemmon ( some people like to drip a few lemmon drops on it). Goes well with dry white wine.
