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!

The shrimp was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

The shrimp was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp came out overcooked and rubbery. Not sure what went wrong.
