I remember my parents taking me to the beach every year when I was a little girl. This was my opportunity to eat as much shrimp and fish as I wanted. This was definitely my favorite time of the year. After I was married, my husband and I honeymooned at a beach in Mexico, where one of our favorite dishes was garlic shrimp. Our second favorite was the shrimp cocktail with spicy tomato sauce, lime and tons of avocados. Fortunately, I now live on the beach and can easily find fresh shrimp, giving me the freedom to create recipes with this delicious seafood. Today I present you with a recipe for red shrimp soup with comforting vegetables and the rich flavor of guajillo pepper sauce. I hope you like it.
