Camarones Diablos, also known as Devil Shrimp, is a classic Mexican dish that features succulent shrimp cooked in a spicy tomato-based sauce. This recipe is a healthier take on the traditional dish, made with brown rice instead of white rice and using chicken broth instead of heavy cream. The chipotle peppers in adobo sauce add a smoky and spicy flavor to the dish, making it a great meal for spice lovers. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a festive weekend gathering with friends and family.

Instructions

1.In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add brown rice, 1 tablespoon butter, and salt. Reduce heat to low, stir, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.

4.Serve the shrimp mixture over the cooked brown rice.
