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
