Camarones En Salsa / Shrimp in Sauce image

I got this recipe from one of my friend's Mexican Cookbooks. Another friend tried it first and made a few changes with the amounts and extra spices. And I've added some of my own changes. The end result is wonderful. I usually have all these ingredients on hand. It's a quick recipe. I put the jasmine rice in my rice cooker and by the time the rice is done, so is the shrimp and sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp turned out rubbery. The sauce was good, though.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The shrimp were tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.
