There are days that I am so busy with the house, kids and helping Hubby in his shop that I am only left with 30 minutes to prepare lunch. But that is plenty of time to whip up a delicious meal. Am I starting to sound like Rachael Ray?
Camarones a la Mexicana is probably the easiest and fastest of all my recipes. And it is also DELICIOUS!
Camarones a la Mexicana
Ingredients:
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped*
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 can Salsa El Pato
Directions:
Saute the onion, garlic and bellpepper in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
Add the shrimp and tomato. Saute until the shrimp turn pink.
Pour in the can of Salsa El Pato. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
Serve with Sopa de Arroz Blanco. Enjoy!!!
*If you want something a little spicier, add chopped and seeded jalapeño peppers or serrano chilies.
With Love,
Leslie, this looks delicious. I, too, have a recipe for them, though mine is quite different from yours. I love having another version to try. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love this. It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteTakes me back to Louisiana. Looks like shrimp creole.
ReplyDeleteIs El Pato just a brand name? Will any jar of salsa do?
ReplyDeleteOoh -- yum. ..and I have a can of El Pato in the cupboard and a bag of shrimp in the freezer. I am set. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks easy!! Yay! Thanks, Leslie
ReplyDeleteYou posted your link on my blog to try out a recipe and I am going to in the coming week!!! Just keep an eye out!!!
ReplyDeleteI also have a link to your blog displayed on the left hand side!
Thanks!!!
Looks quick and easy!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this, amazing, another one to try.
ReplyDeleteStill awaiting an answer to my question: Is El Pato a brand name? I have asked both my wife and my sister-in-law here if they have heard of it. They have not. I´m thinking perhaps it´s a regional thing.
ReplyDeleteFelipe: To answer your question, El Pato is a brand name. It is a canned salsa that is a cross between a salsa and a tomato puree. But any jarred, canned or even homemade salsa will work with this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI was just about to make this dish when I noticed something awry. In the instructions, you mention adding the tomatoes, but there are no tomatoes in the ingredients list. What´s a guy to do?
ReplyDeleteFELIPE: So sorry about the omission. I will fix it immediately. :) Hope you made the camarones anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I tossed in two chopped roma tomatoes. It worked. Strangely, I believe this is the second time I have made the dish, and I sure did not notice the tomato issue before.
ReplyDeleteIt was quite tasty. Gracias.
I love this site. Thank you for all the amazing food!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOUR RECETA... ANY RECETA FOR MEXICAN WHITE. RICE?

ReplyDeleteIs this dish a spicy one? if not how can i make it a bit spicy!
