This hot pepper spice, long famous in Portugal, is now picking up fans in other parts of the world. Its flavor is intense, authentic and unique, yet it does not set your mouth on fire. Use it to add heat to shrimp, chicken, pork, or anything else you want to spice up. The Portuguese are so enamored with Piri-Piri that they use it in most of their cooking. If you have ever eaten at a Portuguese restaurant, you have probably enjoyed Piri-Piri without even knowing it.
