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 delicay. 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.

Love this recipe and love that it’s non sweet
for V day !!! Nice family pics Isabel !Shrimp dumplings are such a great ideas. family loves shrimp, so these will be a win.
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!
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.
These are a must-have for any celebratory occasion. They really look delicious: congrats!
This was one of my favorite snacks when we lived in Brazil! I love that you all get into the kitchen and make them together. Seus rissóis parecem deliciosos!
Safe travels, Isabel!
Wow what a recipe! You make me crave Portuguese food every time. I really, really need to try this and more.
Meals made with love are special anytime, and these dumplings sounds wonderful Safe travels, Isabel!
Oh this recipe sounds absolutely wonderful…. as most of your dishes do. I love the photos of your mom, dad and … is that Reis? All of them cooking together … so sweet.
Thinking about you today and wishing you a safe flight home.
These sound really delicious and don’t look too hard to make. They would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day app.
I love that you guys cook together. Makes my heart happy! <3
I love dumplings…and shrimp…and family time. Ok, I love all of the above! I can’t wait to try this recipe out. Yum!
What a great recipe! They look so good and what a unique recipe!!
These look really lovely and versitile – I’m sure you could add to the ingredients inside the dumplings too. Yum!
These dumplings are so cute, and I LOVE the photos of your family enjoying the time together.
This are like savory croquettes, the kind I grew up eating. Though never with shrimp. Perfect for a family meal Isabel! Happy sunday!
Valentines is not a huge deal in our home either. A simple dinner from the heart says it best – and this is a great dish for that. You rocked at the conference, BTW! Saw you on youtube
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!
Love that you have 3 generations of dumpling-makers involved in the process! Sounds like a perfect Valentine’s Day.
These sound awesome Isabel! Shrimp are my favorite1
Wow, I love shrimp and your Portuguese recipes always sound so wonderful. Enjoy!
This is such a unique recipe and certainly a special one!!Love the Shrimp filling and would surely be a hit with kids and adults
What a great recipe, we love shrimp at our house!
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?
These look phenomenal, Isabel! And I’m on the hunt for new Lenten ideas…these will be perfect!
Never heard of these, but that sounds like a great dish – and a nice change from all of the Valentine day sweets. Yum!
yum!! Love these Portuguese Shrimp Dumplings!! I love anything breaded and fried .. yum!!! Happy Valentine’s Day Isabel and hope you have a safe trip home!
Looks soooooo tasty!!
Vo-vo’s are the best! These dumplings look scrumptious.
Our big celebration is a big dinner when it comes to Valentines LOL. I’ve never heard of Shrimp Dumplings. Nice! Looks good!
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.
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.
Getting the whole family together is definitely the best way to celebrate a day of love! These sound fabulous, Isabel.
I am so going to make those they look wonderful!!! I hope you had a nice Valentine’s Day!!
