Submitted by celly

"When I met Mike, he told me this was his favorite meal of all time (having lived in Miami so long) well, even though I am Spanish we never made this type of food.. I scoured the net to find a recipes, but they all seemed way to hard and too much prep.. not my kind of cooking... so I can up with this. He loves it :)"
