Shrimp Carlos

"A scrumptuous appetizer from Mexico with a few American alterations served by the son of a very special lady on her 89th birthday party. Scott spent a lot of time in Mexico and found this to be one of his favorites and now mine too! I think it'll become one of yours as well."

  1. These were tedious to set up and had to struggle to get some of them properly wrapped. Forgot to do the hot pepper sauce before cooking so it was individual choice to add or not. The instructions do not say what to do with the melted butter and I forgot about it anyway. Will probably give this another try so I can drizzle the butter and hot sauce on before cooking.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a Midwesterner, turned Northwesterner for 30 years and finally a Southwesterner. I retired in 1995 and have had time to enjoy, even more, the things I love, like cooking and entertaining special people in our home--family and good friends. Fortunately, my husband enjoys cooking too (one pot meals), so he relieves me a few times a month.
