Method

Preparation of Sope Base

  1. 1

    Make the Sope

    In a bowl, mix heirloom corn masa with water and salt until a dough forms. Divide into small balls and flatten into discs. Cook on a hot griddle until golden brown on both sides.

Cooking Shrimp

  1. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let marinate for 15 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through.
