Shrimp Mozambique
Shrimp Mozambique is a flavorful and spicy Portuguese-inspired dish. It features shrimp cooked in a rich sauce made from garlic, onions, olive oil, and a blend of spices, including paprika and a hint of saffron. The sauce is often enhanced with beer or white wine, and sometimes a touch of lemon juice for added zest. The dish is typically served over rice or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. It's known for its vibrant color and bold, savory flavors.
