Karen's Shrimp Mozambique

Spicy and heavily seasoned shrimp--great served over rice or with Portuguese rolls.

Ingredients:

• 1-pound medium-large shrimp (shelled)
• 4 packets Goya Seasoning (Sazon Goya con azafran)
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup red wine
• 6-7 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 1-2 Tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed Red pepper flakes (or to taste)
• Red hot pepper sauce (to taste)

Directions:

Add water and butter to a saucepan and simmer on low until butter melts. Add Goya seasoning, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and onion powder. Stir and simmer on low for 3-4 minutes. Add shrimp and wine, stir, then turn up the heat. When the sauce just begins to boil, lower heat, cover and simmer on very low for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add lemon juice, parsley, and hot sauce to taste. Stir, cover and simmer on very low 4-5 minutes. (At this point I tweak the flavors adding either extra hot sauce or garlic.) Spoon shrimp and sauce into bowls and serve with Portuguese rolls on the side for dipping.

Number of Servings: 4

Notes from the Cook: Also delicious served over white rice for a main course. Sazon Goya con azafran is a Cuban seasoning ingredient. Look for it in specialty stores or order via the internet. Portuguese rolls can also be found on the internet or specialty stores.
