Shrimp Mozambique is one of the most unique and popular dishes in Portuguese cuisine and it comes from the rich historical past of Portuguese exploration. When Portuguese explorers encountered the local tribes of Mozambique in the 15th century, they learned of their use of “piri piri” or peppers, used in making hot sauces and dishes. This use of “piri piri” led to the creation of this unique shrimp dish, which happens to be my personal favorite and that of many around the world. There are many variations to this dish, but in my opinion this is the most simple and delicious way to enjoy it without much hassle.
1) In a bowl add the chopped garlic, piri piri sauce,lemon juice, one tablespoon wine or beer, both packets of sazon goya, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix it together.
2) Add the olive oil and half of the butter to a frying pan with the onion and cook until soft, 4-5 minutes over medium heat.
3) Add the contents of the bowl to the pan, stir, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add wine/beer, bring to boil and reduce for 2 minutes over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and the rest of the butter.
4) Cook over medium heat until the shrimp are done.
5) Place the shrimp and sauce in a serving platter and garnish with the parsley. Serve along with the rice. Enjoy!
