 Shrimp Mozambique Recipe

 

       SHRIMP MOZAMBIQUE by Tony Pavao

- 2 lbs. of shrimp deveined (Shell on or off. I prefer shell off, less work for eating)
- 1 cup of chopped and diced onions
- 2 cloves of crushed garlic
- 2 sticks of butter
- 1 tbsp of onion powerder
- 1 tbsp of garlic powder
- 2 tbsp of dried parsley
- 1/4 to 1/2 bottle of Franks hot sauce (to coat the shrimp and help the spices to stick)
- 1 or 2 tbsp of red crushed pepper (what your taste buds can handle)
- 1 tsp of hot peprika
- 1/2 tsp of ceyenne pepper (if you can handle it)
- 4 pkgs of Goya Sazon con Cilantro (the orange box in the Hispanic ilse of the grocery store)
- 2 Corona beers

Defrost the shrimp in cold water and drain really well. Pour the Franks hot sauce liberally to coat the shrimp. In a medium bowl, mis the onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, crushed pepper, hot peprika, Goya Sazon and mix well with a fork. Take all the spices and pour over the shrimp and hot sauce. Mix really well with a wooden spoon to coat all of the shrimp. Set the mixture aside.

In a large deep sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook them for approximately 4-7 minutes or until cooked adding the fresh garlic with about 2 minutes left. Pour the 2 Coronas in and bring to a simmer. Add the shrimp and all the rest of the ingredients in the bowl to the beer and let simmer over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until the shrimp is completely cooked.

Put shrimp on cooked rice with the marinade and enjoy with some portuguese bread. That is it. You are done!

Enjoy!
