I always get this at Goode's Seafood when in Houston. This recipe is a close approximation of the restaurant's version. Great for summer!

You have to be delirious to think this only takes ten minutes. You have to thaw and boil shrimp, make a pico de gallo, roast peppers, and make a sauce that has nine ingredients. Plus all the other steps. But it was delicious. Actually ate it for dinner on a hot summer night. Thanks for a great recipe.

The chili sauce comes in a jar near cocktail sauce. Heinz makes a chili sauce, easy to mistake for cocktail but the bottle says “chili sauce”

😂😂😂to the smart soul who pointed out the 10 min prep time. Insanity. Lots o’ chopping! But, if you’re a fan of Goode Co. campechana, this is a very good facsimile! All the steps worthwhile, including the roasting of Anaheims as they lend a smoky back note to the whole. Takes me home to Htown! As my mom used to say, “Worth the extra effort!”

This was a huge hit with the family. Even though my husband watched suspiciously as I added green olives (not his favorite) to the salsa mix, he enjoyed it thoroughly. Will make this for my Feast of the Seven Fishes this Christmas Eve, even if it isn't an Italian dish.
