Arepa con Cerdo y Camarones (Arepa with Pork and Shrimp)

Now, lets talk about food. There is a restaurant in Colombia that we  love called J&C Delicias. They make arepas with every topping imaginable and one of her favorite arepas is topped with cerdo and camarones, so I made it for lunch and we loved it!

Enjoy!
