Shrimp & Sofrito

An easy, low-calorie, fresh and filling recipe for winter!

3 red bell peppers

1 green bell pepper

1 poblano pepper

1 white onion

4 cloves garlic

1 pound tomatoes, any kind, fresh or frozen

1/2 a jalapeño

Dried chiles, optional

One lime, divided in half

3/4 pound fresh or frozen shrimp

Blend all ingredients up to jalapeños in a food processor.

In a large pot, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over high heat. Add the sofrito blend and sauté, until sauce reduces. Add chiles if desired for more heat. Season with salt.
