Recipe information

Make Camarones in just 30m. Shrimp in sauce

In a bowl, combine the shrimp with lime juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

Chop the onion, bell pepper, and cilantro. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
