Peri peri (aka piri piri or pili pili) is a vibrant, smoky, and peppery sauce with origins in African and Portuguese cuisines. It is a spicy sauce that does not lack in the taste department, consisting of onion, garlic, chili peppers, tomatoes, bell peppers, smoked paprika, oregano, and vinegar. For a more mild version, use 1 chili instead of 2. Shrimp and baby new potatoes are slow cooked in the peri peri sauce, absorbing all that flavor. This recipe makes for a simple, casual meal perfect for the weekday grind or al fresco weekend dinners.
