I found this recipe in Mexican Easy Meals. We serve this often, and really enjoy it. Try it with brown rice for extra nutrition. Remember brown rice takes a little longer to cook, but makes up for it with its nice nutty taste. Ingredients:
3 onions, chopped |
5 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
5 -7 ripe tomatoes, diced |
6 -8 ounces green beans, cut into 2 inch or 5 cm pieces and blanched in boiling water for 1 minute |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 (10 ounce) can rotel tomatoes & chilies, drained (choose mild, medium or hot) |
2 cups fish stock (or 2 cups water mixed with 2 fish bouillon cubes) |
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled |
fresh cilantro, springs to garnish |
1 lime, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Fry the onion and garlic lightly in the oil over a low heat for 5-10 minutes, or until softened.
2. Add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
3. Add the green beans, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, the Ro*tel (drained), and the fish bouillon.
4. Bring to a boil, then reduced the heat and simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
5. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes only, then remove the pan from the heat and let the shrimp steep in the hot liquid to finish cooking.
6. They are cooked when they have turned bright pink.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with the fresh cilantro and accompanied by the lime wedges.
8. Enjoy!
