    This recipe is very similar to my late mother's shrimp. I did add some chopped tomatoes as well. The sauce is great for dipping.

    Portuguese (Acorean) Shrimp, A classic snack enjoyed by my husband’s family while playing cards a few hours after a meal , This recipe is very similar to my late mother’s shrimp I did add some chopped tomatoes as well The sauce is great for dipping , I really enjoyed this It was quick, easy, and did not require a lot of cleanup I added 1 can of diced tomatoes while the shrimp simmered (and because of the tomatoes, I added an extra TBSP of hot pepper paste) and I served it over yellow rice It reminds us of an Italian dish I make called Shrimp Fra Diavolo (served w/ spaghetti) My hubby requests that I serve it over pasta next time, so I will

    2
    Done

    Add Garlic, Pimenta and Tomato Paste Stir Until Blended. You May Have to Thin This Mixture Out a Little Bit With Some of the Beer/Wine.

    3

    4

    Add Shrimp, Stir and Saute For 2-3 Minutes Coating the Shrimp With the Tomato/Pimenta Mixture.

    5
    Done

    Add Remaining Beer/Wine and Add Water, Just Enough to Cover.

    6
    Done

    Cook on Med. Heat For Approximately 10 Minutes or Until the Shells Are Easily Peeled from the Shrimp. (note: I Have Been Known to Leave This on My Stove For an Hour or More. as Long as There Is Still Juice Covering the Shrimp They Are Okay. For Some Unknown Reason You Can't Seem to Over Cook Them).

    7
    Done

    Use a Slotted Spoon to Remove the Shrimp from the Cooking Liquid and Serve With Remainder of Parsley Sprinkle Over.

    8
    Done

    Hint Reserve the Cooking Liquid. It Can Be Used: (a) to Store Leftover Shrimp, If Any, to Reheat; (b) to Cook White Rice in (wonderful Flavour); or (c) to Dip Crusty Fresh Bread Into.
