Veracruz sauce is a flavorful blend of juicy tomatoes, onion, cilantro and freshly squeezed lime juice. Our version of this Mexican favorite is a snap to prepare in just 30 minute and only one pan is used. Add a little heat to your dish with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Serve these zesty shrimp over steamed rice or pasta. Try adding a size of avocado for a rich variation in texture and color. Light and simple, these shrimp are an easy weeknight dinner and equally delicious for a weekend lunch. Top with a fried egg for a festive brunch dish.
