Tips
- We recommend using 5 garlic for each kilogram of medium shrimp, if you prefer a less strong flavor, you should remove the center or core of the garlic.
- Accompany your guajillo shrimp with a good onion, avocado and tomato salad, also incorporate rice to have a more yielding dish.
- Remove the shrimp once they begin to turn orange, to prevent them from acquiring a chewy consistency on the palate.
