This is an excellent Mexican rice recipe with bell peppers (not to be confused with Spanish rice) that I make as a side to serve with all of my Mexican dishes. The key is cooking the rice properly and using good quality chicken broth or stock.

Mexican-Style Shrimp Cocktail
Mexican-style shrimp cocktails are commonly spotted on menus in the Bay Area of California, but they don't seem to have caught on elsewhere — which is surprising since you can pretty much get Mexican food like tacos and burritos in just about any corner of the country.
