Prawns

Mozambique's coastline is 1,535 miles long, and many of its inhabitants rely on the sea for a living. It's no wonder, therefore, that seafood plays a significant role in local cuisine. Grilled fish, crumbed calamari, garlic-infused octopus with mashed potatoes... all of these are readily available. The highlight, though, is unquestionably Mozambique's prawns, which may grow to enormous proportions. They are often served grilled and coated with piri-piri sauce, however lemon and garlic may suffice for those who prefer a milder flavor. Another popular dish is Prawns Nacional, which are served with a creamy beer sauce.

Although prawns are a more expensive delicacy in other areas of the world where they are frequently available on menus, they are inexpensive and widely consumed in Mozambique. Grilling them with piri-piri sauce or making a prawn curry with coconut milk are two common ways to prepare them. Both meals are delectable and must-try options.
