The Portuguese chorizo was dry. It didn't knock my socks off. The clams did have a nice flavor.

Excellent! I followed this recipe as written, except using petite diced tomatoes instead of crushed, and chicken broth instead of clam juice. I used Redhook ESB for the beer. Nicely done, thanks...

This was very good. It cooked up very fast too. I agree with previous reviewers - Portuguese chourico is absolutely a must. I had to go on a bit of a mission to find it locally but it was defini...
