Portuguese Inspired Easy Baked Shrimp Recipe

My son said “Mommy, you have to be married to have a baby right?’

“Yes honey, you do (as I shifted my eyes and looked for others who might counter that statement).”

“But I don’t want to get married because I don’t want anyone to tell me what to do”

I said nothing.

Pick your lower jaw off the floor.

Easy Baked Shrimp Recipe (Yield = 4 appetizer servings or 2 main dish)
Ingredients:
1 lb. 31-40 count raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 clove of garlic, roughly chopped
1 medium tomato, roughly chopped
1/3 packet of Goya Azafran
1 teaspoon hot chopped pepper from jar (I used Antonio’s in the International section of your store)
1.3 cup chopped sweet onion
1 large handful of fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

2. Place the shrimp in a large bowl, add all remaining ingredients and toss well.

3. Place in a casserole dish and bake for 10-12 minutes.

If you are wondering why I called this recipe ‘Portuguese inspired is because my mother in law brought us the tomatoes and parsley straight from her garden. In addition, this reminds me a bit of Shrimp Mozambique.

    Way to start early with the good morals! At least that was an easy question to answer, until she does find someone that had baby before getting married.
