Camarones Guisados (Shrimp in sauce) & white rice

A wonderful traditional Dominican dish. ( this is of course my recipe. there are plenty of others as this is a popular dish among Latin communities)

Prep time: 20 min
cook time: 25 min
serves 4

Ingredients:
2 lbs xtra large shrimp shelled and cleaned. (easy peal)
1 Green bell pepper cut in thin strips.
1 Red bell pepper cut in thin strips
2 cloves Garlic crushed
5 plum tomatoes cut in strips. (canned is ok)
1 medium yellow onion sliced
1tbsp tomato paste
10 green olives sliced. (optional, but recommended)
1 dry chili pepper crushed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt. (regular if you don't have it)
3/4 cup shrimp broth or water

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil at medium heat. saute peppers, onion, tomato and garlic for about 3 minutes, add shrimp and saute an additional 3 to 5 minutes, add tomato paste and shrimp broth, stir in well. add salt and crushed chili pepper and olives and simmer for about 5 minutes covered. test sauce and add salt to taste ( be careful, it may not need it. And too much salt will ruin this dish) transfer to plate and garnish with a sprig of parsley or dill.
This dish will look beautiful!

Whit Rice:
I like to kick my white rice up a little bit.
rather than make a bland white rice try it this way.

Instead of boiling your rice in water and salt, replace the water with chicken broth.
follow the direction on you package of rice but replace the water with chicken broth.
and for every 2 cups of cooked rice add 1/4 cup chopped scallions.

once the rice is cooked add the scallions and mix it well. this will add a wonderful flavor to the rice, but not to much to take away from the delicious main course.

enjoy
