Shell and clean the shrimp, put aside. In large skillet, heat oil and add garlic and serrano chile, cook for about 5 minutes. Add onion, cook another 3 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes, green & yellow peppers, El Patio sauce, the pimiento & its juice, salt and bay leaves. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shrimp, simmer for another 10 minutes, too and voila.
Serve over rice, corn tortillas on the side. Es muy bueno.

This is very good too,it is from La Scala Restaurant:
Shrimp In Cream Cilantro Sauce
(Serves 2, so you can double it, the cilantro butter makes about 1 cup)
Cilantro Butter:
1/2 # Butter 1 shallot, coarsely chopped 1 serrano chile, chopped 1/2 a bunch of cilantro, leaves only White Pepper to taste Salt to taste.
Shrimp:
1/2 # Jumbo shrimp 3 TBSP. butter 4 tsp. shallots, chopped 4 oz. cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced Salt to taste 2 TBSP. dry white wine 3 TBSP. HEAVY cream ( preferably the Mexican cream) 1/3 cup cilantro butter
For the Cilantro Butter:
Add butter, shallots, serrano, cilantro, white pepper and salt to a blender. Blend until mixture becomes a paste, make sure it is well blended.
For the Shrimp:
Clean and devein the shrimp, set aside. In skillet, add butter, heat & melt. Add shrimp along with shallots, mushrooms and salt. Cook two minutes, do not overcook. Add wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Add the heavy cream. Remove the shrimp and place on warm serving dishes. Add about 1/3 cup of the Cilantro Butter to the pan and cook until melted and heated through. Pour sauce over shrimp and serve immediately.
I serve this with rice and tortillas, if you want to get fancy, put a couple sprigs of cilantro ontop of the shrimp. also, I use this same sauce for Halibut steaks. ********************************************************************
