Description

This One Pan Shrimp Veracruz recipe is spicy, saucy, seafood perfection. It’s a delicious mixture of tomatoes and two kinds of peppers (baby sweet bell peppers and Jalapeno) with an added flavor pop from capers and a little sweetness from golden raisins.  I know it sounds like a weird list of ingredients, but trust me, it’s the bomb dot com. And it’s paleo, keto, gluten-free, sugar-free and Whole30 compliant.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 810 sweet mini peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons pickled Jalapeños, minced
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons red wine
  • 1/2 to 1 cup water (see notes)
  • 1 pound shrimp (see notes)
  • white or brown rice for serving
  • lemon or lime (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute sliced peppers and onions for 5-10 minutes until they’re nice and soft.
  2. Turn the heat down to medium (to avoid burning the garlic). Add the tomatoes, garlic, Jalapeños, capers, raisins, oregano, and salt. Saute for 5-10 minutes until it’s all fragrant and yummy and the tomatoes have released some of their juices.
  3. Add the wine and drizzle in the water, a little at a time, and simmer for another 5-ish minutes until it’s appropriately saucy.
  4. Place the shrimp on top of the sauce. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    • If using uncooked shrimp, cook for 4 minutes on one side, flip and cook for 3 minutes on the other side.
    • If using previously cooked shrimp, stir into sauce mixture until heated through (about 3 minutes total).
  5. Serve the over white or brown rice. Squeeze a lemon or lime over the top if desired.

Notes

You can use cooked or uncooked shrimp in this recipe. If using pre-cooked shrimp, shorten the cooking time.

Add the water a little bit at a time. Start with about 1/2 cup, and then add 1/4 cup as it simmers down.
