Shrimp Veracruzana

You need to make this... now. Go get the ingredients and make it.

The smell was absolutely intoxicating and the whole time hubs was eating it, he kept repeating "Man, this is good!"  I almost wished I wanted to eat it! (Maybe I can sub the shrimp for something fun and use the same flavors.) It's simple, quick, and super easy to make.

I chopped my jalapenos seeds and all, if you wanna take down the heat a bit, remove the seed before chopping. If you want to eliminate the heat completely, replace with green pepper sliced thin.



Shrimp Veracruzana

Ingredients: 
1 bay leaf
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 jalapeno, sliced thin
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb raw shrimp
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1 avocado halved & sliced

canola oil

Process:

Heat oil and bay leaf in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeno and garlic; cook ~ 3 minutes. Stir in shrmip, cook another 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, bring to a simmer and cook until tomatoes begin to break down ~3 minutes more. Remove bay leaf and serve over sliced avocado.

Would be great with a side of rice!
