Stages of cooking
-
Peel the shrimps first and heat the chicken broth. As soon as it starts boiling, add goya packet, tomato paste, salt and black pepper. Saffron will be a nice addition to the dish as well. Cook the orzo until it absorbs the liquid. If it is a bit dry, add olive oil and tomato paste.
-
While the orzo is boiling, season the shrimp with black pepper and sea salt. Sprinkle with lime juice, stir well and set it aside for about 10 minutes.
-
Now, slice the shallots. The slices should be thin, but you can chop the shallots roughly as well.
-
Take a large frying pan, heat it on medium fire and melt butter in it. Toss the shrimps in it for about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the shallots and keep cooking for one more minute. If you like spicy dishes, you can add chopped jalapeno as well.
-
Take the frying pan away from heat and add tequila. Now, carefully light the shrimps. They should flare up and put themselves out in about a minute or so. Shake the frying pan carefully while the shrimps are flaring.
-
Add cilantro and sour cream. Serve hot with orzo! Bon appétit!
