A seaside classic from Veracruz, Mexico, the rice dish called arroz a la tumbada often features a medley of seafood. In our streamlined version, we opt for just shrimp to create a one-pot meal that’s easy enough for a weeknight. If you seek chili heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeño that’s minced and also garnish with the optional jalapeño. Serve with lime wedges for a burst of bright acidity.

Salsa from this episode
Is it possible to get the salsa Mr. Kimball made during this episode -- it was with the peanuts and cocoa nibs. It looked awesome, but I can't find the recipe!!

Just yum.
Flavors were amazing. I love fresh jalapeños on top.
