This dish typically features succulent shrimp cooked in a rich, savory sauce made from a blend of olive oil, garlic, onions, and beer. The sauce is often seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, such as paprika, and parsley, which contribute to its aromatic and slightly smoky flavor.

Portuguese-style shrimp is often served with crusty bread, which is perfect for soaking up the delicious sauce. The dish is commonly enjoyed as a main course but can also be served as a hearty appetizer at gatherings and special occasions.

This dish embodies the simplicity and depth of Portuguese cooking, where fresh, high-quality ingredients are allowed to shine through minimal but thoughtful preparation. It's a comforting and satisfying dish that brings the flavors of the Portuguese coast to the table.

Not sure about this one (5 Stars?) as it seems the flavor of the shrimp would be lost in that sauce.
