How to Make Shrimp Veracruz
- In a large bowl, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Lightly spray a wok or large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Add the tomato mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color) and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Stir-fry for approximately 7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Gently add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Arrange them on top of the vegetable mixture.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Avoid overcooking.
- Serve immediately over rice with your favorite side vegetables. Enjoy!
