Mozambique

A quick, easy meal to make that can be altered for the mildest palettes to the ones that prefer the fire department to be on standby when this is devoured.

White rice, cooked
1 1/2 stick butter
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 packet Sazon (the one for fish)
1/2 Cup hot sauce
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 pounds chicken (cubed) shrimp


In large skillet, melt the butter. Add in garlic and cook until golden. Add the sazon and mix well. Pour in the hot sauce (less for a more mild flavor) and lemon juice. Stir and let cook for 1 minute to get the flavors to combine. Add in the chicken or shrimp and stir constantly until cooked. Serve over white rice.

 

For a variation or combination of this recipe, you can us 3/4 pound of chicken and 3/4 pound of shrimp. Cook the chicken until it is almost done and toss in the shrimp. Stir until both are fully cooked and serve as directed.

Oh yeah. This definitely goes into the favorites column for me. I appreciate most foods that are versatile, and have easy substitutions when in a pinch. This recipe can easily have just about all of the ingredients changed and replaced as your taste buds guide you. Start with the recipe shown, and take notes. What did you like? What did you hate? Change it as you see fit. A great starter for many different end results.

I love this recipe. It's something I remember from my head. I can add as much or as little hot sauce as I want, depending on who I'm cooking for. He and I like it HOT! HOT! HOT!, but the "chef in training" is not so daring, so I make it with 1/4 cup of hot sauce and then give him his portion then add a little more hot sauce in for the grown ups.

Just ask. Seriously, it's not a problem. No...really. We might want a reciprocal link or something, but what's the worst that could happen, we say "yes"?
