"I found the recipe in a southwest cookbook back in 1989. It is always on the top of my list for dinner. It cooks quick (except for preparing the shrimp). I like to season it with Johnny's seasoning salt. It's great served with a Margareta. Based on Linky's review I added in sliced red peppers and green onion...we really enjoyed it...thanks Linky for the delicious suggestion."
