I have been using this recipe (or variants of it) since it was published. Always turns out terrific. The accompanying 4 pepper salsa is a must. It takes time, but is well worth it. Even though this is supposed to be all healthy which is why they make you use mozzarella, I highly recommend sprinkling a little bit of Mexican Cojita cheese at the end. You don't need a lot, just a little. Makes a difference.

The prep work for this recipe took a while (with all the cutting and varied ingredients) and it was messy to cook and to eat. The flavor was great though. Next time, I'll try layering cheese, then the shrimp mixture, then more cheese, and hopefully this will make it stick together better.
