CAMARONES ENCHILADOS (PUERTO RICAN-STYLE CREOLE SHRIMP)



Camarones Enchilados (Puerto Rican-Style Creole Shrimp) image

Camarones enchilados translates roughly to ''deviled shrimp'' and should definitely not be confused with Mexican enchiladas, which are totally different! This is one of the very few Puerto Rican dishes with any heat. It's that heat that made this dish special for my mom and me, because unlike my dad (and most Puerto Ricans!) we both really love spice. So this is a meal my mom usually made just for the two of us to enjoy on the days when my dad was away.
