How to Make Azorean Portuguese

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, add 1 lb frozen shrimp (or 1.5 lbs fresh, peeled and deveined shrimp).
  2. Cover the shrimp with 4 cups of water.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients: 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through. (If using fresh shrimp, reduce simmer time to 10-12 minutes).
  5. Once cooked, gently stir to combine all the flavors.
  6. Serve immediately, or refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the original broth for the best flavor.
  7. Enjoy this taste of the Azores!
