Shrimp Mozambique

Tonight I was feeling like shrimp but not wanting the same old shrimp scampi that I always make.  I decided to go with a Portuguese dish, Shrimp Mozambique.   This dish is full of flavor and so easy and quick to make.  I love making it with Shrimp but you can also make it with Chicken.  I actually made this dish last Valentine's Day with both chicken and shrimp and used a heart shape cookie cutter to make the chicken pieces in the shape of hearts! 


 To start off you will need all the ingredients below: 

2 bags of boil in a bag whole grain rice
20 large shrimp peeled and deveined
 2 sticks of margarine
1 bottle of light beer
3 cloves of garlic sliced
1/2 a sweet onion, chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic with two teaspoons of juice (jarred)
2 teaspoons paprika
Salt to taste
4 packets of Goya con azafern seasoning

 First you can start to cook your rice by following the directions on the box.  In a large skillet melt the margarine with the can on beer.  Add the onion, garlic and paprika.  Saute for about 10 minutes.  Add the shrimp and cook until pink.  Add the Goya Seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.  Stir, turn the heat off and cover for about 15 minutes to let the shrimp absorb the flavor.  Serve over rice and Enjoy!
