Step:

  1. In a large pan (at least 12") preheat the oil and butter on medium heat until all the butter is melted.

  2. Add onions, peppers, garlic, and cilantro, and sweat until onions are translucent.

  3. Stir in Goya packet and cayenne.

  4. Add tomato sauce, stock or wine, fresh lemon juice, and salt, stir to combine thoroughly, and bring to a gentle boil for a minute.

  5. Gently fold in shrimp and cook, covered, just until all shrimp are cooked through. If you need a little more salt, you can add it at this point. You'll know the shrimp are cooked through when they all *just* turn opaque, but don't cook too much longer after that or you'll lose that plump, juicy texture.

  6. Garnish with a little bit of chopped fresh cilantro and enjoy! :)


Ingredients

  1. 1 Tablespoon oil
  2. 1 Tablespoon butter
  3. 1/2 a mediun onion, minced
  4. 1/2 a bell pepper, minced (I prefer red/yellow/orange to green because they're sweeter, but green works in a pinch.)
  5. 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 Tablespoons)
  6. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro + more for garnish
  7. 1 packet Goya Sazón (Any kind - culantro, achiote, azafrán, etc. - will work fine in this dish.)
  8. 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  9. 1 cup tomato sauce
  10. 1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock or white wine
  11. 1-2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  12. 1/4 teaspoon salt to start
  13. 1.5 pounds large to jumbo shrimp that have been peeled and deveined, lightly salted
