   Grab a handful of cilantro off the bundle.

    Mix the shrimp into the bowl with the pepper and and set aside to marinate.
12. 12
    Start the rice.

    For every cup of rice, add twice the amount of water, e.g.
14. 14
    1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water.
15. 15
    Set the heat to high, add the rice and water, and cover.

    When the water starts to boil, reduce heat to low and let it sit for 15 minutes.

    In a small sauce pan, heat some canola oil.
22. 22
    Heat each tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side, just to soften.

    Put tortillas on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
24. 24
    When you are done heating the tortilla shells, heat two tablespoons of butter on medium-high heat.
