GUAJILLO SHRIMP
This is my version of my favorite entree from "Bertha Miranda" Mexican restaurant in Reno, NV. Having not come across this dish on any other Mexican restaurant menu and missing it terribly since moving away, I've experimented until I believe I have finally figured out the secret. This dish is quick and easy to make and has a sightly sweet and spicy flavor. The best thing about it is you control how hot (spicy) to make it.
