Make

  1. Reheat rice on stovetop or in the microwave. Mix together with cooking oil, lime juice, cilantro, and hot sauce. Season to taste with salt.
  2. Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbs. (15 ml) cooking oil and then shrimp to heated oil. Add in one-third of the tomato / adobo mix and also one-third of the spice mix. Saute until almost done, ~6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Return pan to medium-high heat and add another tbs. of cooking oil. Add garlic to heated pan and then onions. Saute until softened, 3 to 5 minutes and then add peppers with beans. Add remainder of the sauce and spice mix, and saute until peppers are tender but still crunchy, 3 to 5 minutes. Return shrimp to pan and toss everything through. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice, and season to taste with more salt, pepper, hot sauce, or any of the spices. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
