Portuguese and Madeiran settlers left Mozambique a beachside espetada habit: cubes of beef or whole prawns skewered, basted with garlicky piri-piri butter and grilled over coals at Maputo and Tofo beach bars. The same grill counters feed the country's prego culture, where the espetada meat slides off the stick into a crusty roll.
