shrimp veracruz

Shrimp Veracruz - my new favorite recipe!! Juicy shrimp in a pepper / tomato spicy, briny sauce served over rice. Oh my gosh, THIS IS SO GOOD.

Spicy Shrimp Veracruz

olive oil

8-10 sweet mini peppers, chopped

cherry tomatoes, halved

garlic,

pickled jalapeños, minced

capers

golden raisins

oregano

salt

red wine

water (see notes)

shrimp (see notes)

rice

lemon or lime (optional)

PEPPERS

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute peppers for 5-10 minutes until they&#8217;re nice and soft.

TOMATOES AND STUFF

Turn the heat down to medium (to avoid burning the garlic). Add the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeños, capers, raisins, oregano, and salt. Saute for 5-10 minutes until it&#8217;s all fragrant and yummy and the tomatoes have released some of their juices.

SAUCE HAPPENING

Add the wine &#8211; sizzzzzzle. Add the water, a little at a time, and simmer for another 5-ish minutes until it&#8217;s moderately saucy.

SHRIMP

Place the shrimp on top of the sauce. Sprinkle with more salt / pepper. Cook on one side for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes.

DONE!

Serve the saucy, briny, moderately spicy goods over hot steaming rice. Squeeze a lemon or lime over the top to be totally extra.

I make Halibut Veracruz and LOVE IT. I never thought to make it with shrimp...cannot wait to make this! Thank you!!!

This is one of my very favorite shrimp recipes. Extra spicy for me, please!

This sounds absolute yummy. Rice and shrimp is the best combo ever.

Great Recipe ! I am definitely going try this at home. Please share some more recipes in future.

capers are just so delicious. love that you used them here with the pickled jalapenos. this is just an awesome dish - what great flavors!

Delicious!! Didn’t have pickled jalapeños, and added sliced white onions.

This looks super yummy!

Just made this tonight and it was delicious! Not nearly as spicy as the 2 tablespoons of jalapeño led me to believe.  I did add a little extra red wine (1-2 tsp) during the cooking. and a squeeze of lime at the table. .   I have a teen and preteen and they devoured it.

I made this for dinner...RIDICULOUS...LY...DELICIOUS!!!! Winner, winner, shrimp dinner! I'm making this again! &lt;3
