This classic Puerto Rican dish consists of shrimp cooked in a savory tomato sauce flavored with onion, garlic, cilantro, and bell pepper. We call for canned whole tomatoes, which you squish into the sauce with your hands or a spoon. We like the rustic texture this creates, but you can substitute a can of diced tomatoes if you prefer. This dish is traditionally served with white rice; you can use cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
