A Portuguese Staple- Shrimp Mozambique is a delicious and flavorful way to enjoy shrimp.

Portuguese Shrimp Mozambique Recipe with Rice

31-40 count bag of Medium or Large Shrimp

garlic

unsalted butter

oz white wine or beer

parsley (optional)

lemon wedge

hot pepper sauce

rice (or french fries)

Pat-dry your shrimp to remove excess moisture.

In a large stock pan place melt butter over medium-low heat.

Once the butter is melted place the chopped garlic in to saute until fragrant and lightly golden brown.

Place the shrimp in the pan with the sauteed garlic, and then add the 8oz of beer, the Goya seasoning, lemon juice, pepper sauce, and parsley. Lower heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Shrimp will be translucent and curl up a bit.

This shrimp tastes better the longer it marinades, but you do not want to overcook it.  To reheat, simply microwave, or simmer until it starts to boil.

Filled with unique flavors and textures, Shrimp Mozambique is a dish that is easy to please everyone at your table.  Hailing from Portugal and named for its former African colony, this spicy shrimp dish is a favorite among the locals in New Bedford, Massachusetts, where there is a large Portuguese immigrant population.  Serve it with rice or French fries for an easy, yet memorable meal.  The recipe calls for sazon, which is a spice blend that typically includes turmeric, cumin, and annatto.  It can be found in the Latin foods section of many large grocery stores.
