Camarones a la Diabla | Traditional Shrimp/Prawn Dish From Mexico | TasteAtlas

Devilled Shrimp (Camarones a la diabla)

(Devilled Shrimp)

Camarones a la diabla is a traditional dish originating from Mexico. Although there are many variations, the dish is usually made with a combination of shrimps, tomatoes, garlic, onions, arbol chili peppers, olive oil, and salt. The shrimps are cooked in olive oil over medium-high heat until light pink.


The hot peppers are blended with tomatoes, garlic, onions, and salt, and the sauce is then poured over the shrimps. The dish is simmered until the sauce is bubbling, and camarones a la diabla are then served immediately. Crusty bread or warm corn tortillas make great accompaniments to the spicy shrimp.
