PORTUGUESE SHRIMP

I received this recipe nearly 40 years ago from a co-worker who was raised in Portugal. She made this Portuguese shrimp dish for an office potluck and everyone wanted the recipe! It is easy to make, impressive to serve, and delicious. The sauce is also good served on fish fillets. -Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York

SHRIMP MOZAMBIQUE

This is a delicious Portuguese dish that my mom used to make for us all the time. A good crusty bread is a must to sop up the sauce. If you love bold, savory flavors, you'll love shrimp Mozambique.
