SHRIMP AND TOMATO MIGAS

Shrimp and Tomato Migas image

This Migas recipe is a cast-iron beauty. My friends and family know I love shrimp, especially when it's mixed with spices. Staple ingredients in my house are corn tortillas, eggs and cheese, so it's a match made in heaven. -Kim Banick, Turner, Oregon
