I absolutely love this Mexican style shrimp and rice recipe. The mix of garlic, onion, and chili pepper gives the shrimp a ton of flavor. And once you have homemade Mexican rice you will never want to eat it at a restaurant again. Best of all this recipe easy and quick, you will be eating in 30 minutes.
