Additional Comments:
You can make this as spicy as you want by adding or removing the red pepper flakes….I have three kiddos and on the nights when I know they will be eating this dish, I tone down the spice. This is a quick and Fabulous dish that seems really labor intensive to the people eating it, when really it took just a few to prepare…..Paired with some yummy wine-you can’t go wrong!!
Enjoy!!
Pairing Notes: OMBU 2009 Chardonnay from Argentina
This unoaked Chardonnay gives a golden color with green tones, fresh in nose with tropical fruits that lead to a refreshing finish accented with citrus notes. Pair with shrimp dishes, salads or chicken empanadas.
This is so delicious. I copoked tonight for dinner and got rave reviews! It looks like it takes alot of stuff, but it really doesn’t. EASY and really good. I didn’t even need a glass of wine to make people eat it!
