Camarones Al Mojo de Alo (Mexican style garlic shrimp)

Belinda Gonzalez
This Mexican style garlic shrimp is simmered in butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and Chile arbol. There are many ways to making this dish but I like to keep mine pretty simple. Feel free to adjusting this recipe however you’d like.
