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!

This dish is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll just use less cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp didn't come out as flavorful as I had hoped. I think I might have used the wrong type of shrimp.
