2 lbs. of shrimp, lobster, fish chunks or crab

1/2 cup of Conchita Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves

1/2 cup of parsley

1 can of Conchita Sofrito Seasoning

1 can of Conchita Tomato Sauce

1 7 oz can of Conchita Pimientos, chopped

1/4 cup of Conchita White Cooking Wine

1 bay leaf

1 tbsp Conchita Capers in Vinegar

1 tsp hot sauce (optional)

Conchita Rice of your choice as a side dish

This dish is full of flavor and easy to make! Camarones enchilados are shrimp smothered in a delicious red (and a little spicy!!) sauce.

To prepare the shrimp (as Abuela Conchita does):

Start by heating some oil in a skillet at medium heat. Consider starting your rice following the instructions on the package.
Add the shrimp and cook until they’re pink and slightly charred.
Remove them from the skillet and let them cool.
Add the chopped onions and pimientos to the skillet. Still at medium heat, let them fry for 5 minutes, until onions are translucent. Then add the garlic and fry for 1 more minute.
Next, add all the other ingredients, except for the parsley and the shrimp. Cook all the ingredients for 15 minutes.
Right before you are ready to serve, add the shrimp to the mixture and cook for an extra minute.
Top with parsley and serve with the Conchita Rice of your choice.

Enjoy!
