Sounds good, but I think it's spelled camArones. I speak Spanish and the only reason I'm correcting the spelling is that if someone wants to google it, they need to have the right spelling.

When we lived in Panama '82-'84, we'd rent this place on the beach, and fishermen would come around with fresh camarones, we'd just heat some olive oil, butter, minced garlic, and fry us up some shrimp. We didn't shell or devein them. Man, that was some good eating!

Roxanne - masa harina means 'dough' and masa is the dough used for making corn tortillas. I'll bet you could use a little polenta? What do you others think?

Polenta/cornmeal might make it grainy, I would just use reg. flour if I didn't have masa. Or to really be technical, maybe a mix of cornmeal and flour run thru a spice grinder might work. You don't need very much for this recipe, not to worry.

That does sound yummy cj! And flakes would make the "blanca" color nicer too. My "blanca" wasn't as white looking as the picture.
