Camarones en Salsa (Shrimp in Salsa)

Camarones en Salsa (Shrimp in Salsa)

I was looking for a quick meal for a busy weekend and I remembered seeing this post on Shrimp a la Diabla. How could I resist shrimp in a spicy sauce? This dish is pretty much just shrimp cooked in a hot and spicy tomato based sauce. You can add the heat however you like. I used some fresh ground chili peppers, but you could also use chopped chipotles in adobo or some kind of chili sauce, etc. Serve with rice and or refried beans etc. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to add the cilantro.

    Looks like you have been doing some “armchair travelling” to Mexico Kevin! Love the flavours of this dish and the refried beans!

    I wouldn’t have thought of having this with refried beans but I bet they would go really well!
