Shrimp Mozambique

This is one of our go-to appetizers. It is quick and easy to make and is incredibly delicious. Like most of our Portuguese recipes, it has that "inexact" feel, but it makes it that much easier to modify to your liking. Make a lot and enjoy! -Mark

Ingredients:

3 T butter

minced garlic

crushed red pepper

3 T olive oil

salt

2 lb shrimp

Directions:

Melt butter in a large frying pain or pot. Saute garlic and crushed red pepper. Add olive oil and continue to heat. Mix in shrimp and cook until done. Salt to taste.

Notes:

Don't forget the bread to sop up all the wonderful and delicious juice. The large (not jumbo) shrimp work the best, but medium shrimp aren't bad. You can use the precooked shrimp, but the overall flavor may not be quite as good. We recently tried this over pasta and it was wonderful.
