    I realized recently that I don’t have a recipe on My Colombian Recipes for this Shrimp in Criolla Tomato Sauce, which was one of my favorites growing up. It is without a doubt one of my favorite meals to make on weeknights, because it is easy to prepare, and is packed with wonderfully comforting flavors.

    If you’re serving this Guisado de Camarones with rice, which I highly recommend, be sure to start the rice before you cook the dish so they’ll be done at about the same time. Hope you enjoy this Shrimp in Criolla Tomato Sauce as much as I do!

    Cook's Note: If you don't have shrimp stock for this recipe, simmer the shrimp shells in water with 1 onion and 2 peeled carrots for about 30 minutes.

    Buen provecho!
