Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 peppers chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
- 1 15-oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 wedges lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter.
Once the butter melts, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes (with their juice), smoked paprika, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to cook gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld.
While the sauce simmers, rinse and pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel.
Gently add the shrimp to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through, until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and taste the sauce, adjusting seasoning if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
