Portuguese Shrimp Dumplings #SundaySupper

I  have to be honest with you about this week’s Sunday Supper event, Valentine’s Day is not a big deal in our home.  What we usually do is cook something together that the whole family loves.  Something that is a little more time consuming than normal BUT totally worth it.  One of our absolute favorites is Rissóis de Camarão, or Portuguese Shrimp Dumplings.  No one cooks this Portuguese Recipe like Vo-Vo.  We love hanging out in her kitchen and helping her cook this delicacy.  We may not formally celebrate Valentine’s Day, but our days spent  Around the Family Table are filled with love and memories to last a lifetime.

  2. Thank you for this very do-able and yummy sounding shrimp dumplings recipe, Isabel. Valentine’s Day is pretty quiet in our home, too. But when our neighbors smell your dumplings in the skillet; who knows? We may be throwing a huge Valentine’s bash!

  3. We don’t celebrate it either, well other then sometimes having a special meal. But then hubby says most meals are pretty special in our home because of my blog so I am not sure our Valentine’s meal really stands out in his mind. But it might make it extra special with I made something as amazing sounding as these dumplings.

  17. I feel exactly the same as you about Valentine’s Day – much nicer to spend it with the family and share a well-loved meal – I love the simplicity and sincerity of your traditions! And those rissois look amazing!

  23. I think it is great that you all spend time cooking something together, even if you don’t technically celebrate Valentine’s Day! Every day should be a day to let the people in your life know you love them, right? 😉

  30. It’s the same in my household, Isabel. I don’t even have kids so that’s not my excuse for staying in on Valentines. The Husband and I hate fighting crowds and overpaying for mediocre food so we just stay in and make something ourselves. These shrimp dumplings sound amazing! I love the sweet photos of your family, thanks for sharing those. We missed you this week in the Twitter chat! Hope you made it home safe ‘n sound.

  31. We never went out or go out for Valentine’s Day either. It is so much nicer to be at home and enjoy each other’s company. Just as Nancy said, I also enjoy the pictures of your family making these amazing looking shrimp dumplings. What a wonderful way to spend quality family time! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your entire family, Isabel.
