Meanwhile, cut shrimp in half lengthwise and check that all veins and shells have been removed.
When sauce begins simmering, add shrimp and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until shrimp are cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, add parsley if using. Stir to combine. Serve over cooked rice.
Notes
The addition of Tabasco(R) or other hot sauce and cayenne pepper is for those who love spice and do not have access to our Fiery Hot Chili Cubano. We also have a Fiery Shrimp Creole recipe for real heat lovers!DO NOT use precooked shrimp or they will not absorb the flavor of the sauce and will get tough.
