- 1 serrano pepper
- 1 tablespoon of onion, chopped

- In a bowl, mix MASECA® Blue flour and water until you form a soft and uniform dough. Divide masa in 10 portions and form small masa balls. With your hands, flatten to form little patties (gorditas) and cook in a griddle with a little oil.
- When cooked, make a slit half-way with a small knife and fill with shrimp.
