CAMARAO MOZAMBIQUE (PORTUGUESE-STYLE SHRIMP)



Camarao Mozambique (portuguese-style Shrimp) image

This is a delicious and quick shrimp saute using typical Portuguese ingredients like red wine and plenty of garlic and parsley. The saffron makes it a little different, and a touch of crushed red peppers at the end of cooking make it wonderful! I used Argentine pink shrimp from Trader Joe's, and they were awesome!

(If you desire a thicker sauce, remove the shrimp, and continue cooking the broth until it is slightly reduced, and a bit thicker. It will take about 3 - 5 minutes. Then return the shrimp to the pan, stir) Stir in parsley and remove from heat Serve.
