Camarones (Con Crema De Queso)

Submitted by CaribbeanLady 2

"It's a delicious variation of Caribbean cuisine (less tradition blend of common Cuban flavors etc). A nice blend of spices but just enough as not to be overbearing! Instead of shrimp you can use crab if you wish, or a fine combination of the two for seafood lovers!"
