Camarones en Salsa de Crema Picante (Spicy Shrimp in Cream Sauce)

Uriah Moody

Report

This shrimp in cream sauce is rich and creamy and takes only about 30 minutes to make. Bright and full of flavor, this dish is quick enough for a weeknight meal, but it’s also sophisticated enough for a dinner party.
