Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds shrimp (about 32-40 total), shell-on, can substitute peeled and deveined shrimp
2 envelopes sazon seasoning with coriander and annatto
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 bay leaf
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer or 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
rice, to taste, cooked and warm, for serving

Directions

Step 1 -In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.

Step 2 -Add the onion to the oil and cook, stirring constantly, until it is tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 3 -Add the garlic cloves and the shrimp to the onions and cook for 1 minute.

Step 4 -Add the sazon envelopes, the garlic salt, the garlic powder, the onion powder, the paprika, and the bay leaf to the shrimp and stir constantly.

Step 5 -Add the beer and the lemon juice to the shrimp mixture, stirring constantly, and bring it to a boil.

Step 6 -Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the shrimp turns pink, about 10 minutes.

Step 7 -Stir the ketchup and the parsley into the shrimp mixture. Remove and discard the bay leaf.

Step 8 -Serve the shrimp and the sauce over the rice. For the best and most authentic result, if using shell-on shrimp, once served, suck the shrimp out of the shell for the optimal flavor.
