A culinary gem
There’s a particular alternative that represents Puerto Vallarta: Shrimp Skewers. This skewer-style snack is a tourist favorite and can be found along Playa Los Muertos.
Note for you: You won’t find anything like them in any other city in the country.
These delicious snacks are easy to prepare, so if you miss your vacation in Puerto Vallarta, you can bring those moments to life by cooking them at home.
Here’s the list of what you need:
- 1 kg of shrimp
- 180 g of butter
- Minced garlic
- Wooden skewers
- 1 cup of vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
- Lime
- Annatto or curry
Let’s get to work
- Put the shrimp on the skewers. Add salt and pepper; let them rest in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan to prepare the marinated sauce (a key recipe element).
- Once perfectly melted, add the minced garlic, annatto, vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes.
- Brush this hot mixture over the shrimp with a kitchen brush and place them on the grill. Repeat this step at least three times while they are grilling.
- Finally, add lime, salt, and chili before eating. We recommend serving them with rice and salad.
Bon Appétit!
