Oh so yummy! I really, really enjoyed this meal. It was almost like eating at a restaurant, except I prepared, served and cleaned up myself. :-) But that's what makes it a fraction of the cost! :-D
Jeramy bought me a recipe book, Mexican at Home: Favorite Restaurant-Style Recipes, for Christmas and that's where this recipe comes from. The publishers collected recipes from well-known companies using their name brand food products. This one is from Ortega.
Because Jeramy likes warm dinner meals & because I'm pregnant, I tossed the shrimp mixture in a non-stick skillet until steaming before layering on top the lettuce. I also added diced avocado and served with rice. It was excellent! Enjoy!
