Shrimp Pozole Verde: A Lighter Take on a Mexican Classic
Pozole, the traditional Mexican hominy stew, comes in three colors: green, white, and red. While white pozole highlights a rich pork broth and red pozole is known for its chile-forward depth, green pozole stands out with a complex broth built from pumpkin seeds, cilantro, and tomatillos. This version swaps pork for shrimp, offering a lighter option that still delivers the nutty, bright, and gently spicy flavors of the original.
