Get a kick from this healthy and delicious shrimp veracruz recipe

Hey, hot stuff! Try this spicy Mexican food dish from reader Rachel Neal

 

Rachel Neal, American

“Shrimp Veracruz is one of my go-to recipes. It’s delicious, healthy and so simple. Add heat with extra jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes. I like to serve it with couscous since it absorbs the flavour so well.”

Expat Living reader, Rachel Neal
