This is a family favorite here in the Pacheco home. A traditional Portuguese meal made with garlic, beer, butter, seafood. What else can you ask for? Oh yes, & EASY! I like mine spicy, but cook yours to taste. This is great as a main dish, or an appetizer. Mozambique is a country in southeastern Africa, which became independent from Portugal in 1975. This dish was influenced by the Portuguese spices brought over by settlers. Portuguese travelers brought the recipe over when they made their way to the US, and it has become quite popular here in New England. This is how I make it at home.
