Camarones Al Tequila image

I had this wonderful dish at a Mexican restaurant in Olympia, WA. It is so flavorful and delicious. I searched for a recipe and found several but none that use sundried tomatoes like we had it at the restaurant. It is only 4 WW points before the tortillas or rice. I like to just eat it with a fork and use a tortilla to just sop of the juices. (A 6-inch fliour tortilla is 2 points).
