Camarao Mozambique

== Description ==
Portuguese-style shrimp. This is a delicious and quick Shrimp saute using typical Portuguese ingredients like red wine and plenty of garlic and parsley. The saffron makes it a little different, and a touch of crushed red peppers at the end of cooking make it wonderful!
== Ingredients ==
* 4 tablespoons butter
* ¼ cup onions, minced
* ½ cup water
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 4 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
* 1 teaspoon turmeric or ginger
* ½ teaspoon saffron threads, soaked in 1 tbsp warm water for 15 minutes
* ½ cup red wine
* 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
* black pepper
* ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
* 1 lb shrimp, peeled and cleaned
== Directions ==
# Saute onion in the butter until almost browned; reduce heat slightly and add garlic, parsley, and turmeric.
# Saute another 5 minutes then add water and saffron water.
# Cover and simmer for 5 more minutes.
# Stir in wine and lemon juice; bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol.
# Add shrimp, salt, black pepper to taste and crushed red peppers.
# Cook about 5 minutes or until shrimp have just turned pink and are still juicy and tender.
# This is normally served in small bowls with crusty bread for dipping, or it could be served over rice.
