thank-you for this and the other recipe. keep them coming. You must be a marvelous cook. Do Brazilians eat a lot of shrimp? we are quite fond of it ourselves but being so far from the coast makes it a little expensive but oh so worth it. My parents live right off the gulf of Mexico so they get lots of fresh seafood, I will definately have to share your recipe with them.
