Escondidinho, meaning 'hidden little one,' has roots in simple, rustic Brazilian cuisine. Its origins are linked to the northeastern region, where readily available ingredients like mandioca (cassava) were creatively utilized. Over time, variations emerged using different proteins and starches. The addition of shrimp (camarão) and creamy sauces reflects the coastal influence and abundance of seafood in Brazilian cuisine.

The dish features succulent shrimp cooked in a rich, creamy sauce typically made with coconut milk or heavy cream, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and Brazilian herbs like cilantro and parsley. The 'escondidinho' part refers to the topping, usually a purée of mandioca (cassava), potatoes, or sweet potatoes, which provides a soft, slightly sweet counterpoint to the savory shrimp. Cheese, such as queijo coalho or mozzarella, is often added on top and baked until golden brown and bubbly, adding another layer of richness and flavor.
