I received this recipe nearly 40 years ago from a co-worker who was raised in Portugal. She made this Portuguese shrimp dish for an office potluck and everyone wanted the recipe! It is easy to make, impressive to serve and delicious. The sauce is also good served on fish fillets. —Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York
