Portuguese Grilled Prawns / Gambas Mozambique
Portuguese Grilled Prawns aka Gambas Mozambique are a smoky, slightly spicy grilled jumbo shrimp that are incredibly flavorful. The spicy marinade creates a depth of flavor that you will enjoy in each bite. You can multiply this recipe based on the number of people that will be eating the shrimp. For every 8 shrimp you should double the marinade, but the prep and cook time will remain the same.
