  • Place the romeritos in a saucepan with a little water. Cook them over medium heat without cooking completely.
  • In a pot, place the nopales and onion. Cover with water and add Arm & Hammer™ Baking Soda along with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the flame, cover, and simmer until soft, for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Boil the potatoes in boiling water until softened and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
  • Cut the heads and tails off the shrimp and set aside. Soak the shrimp in hot water for 10 minutes.
  • Grind the heads and tails of the shrimp dry. Beat the egg to a firm consistency and mix it with the shrimp powder. Form patties and fry in oil.
