DIABLO SHRIMP

DIABLO SHRIMP









Diablo Shrimp
(Camarones A La Diabla)

Ingredients:

3 ancho peppers

3 guajillo peppers

4 chile de arbol peppers

2 medium tomatoes chopped

1 small onion chopped

1 serrano pepper chopped (for additional heat use a habanero pepper)

4 cloves garlic chopped

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, patted dry

Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

Rinse the dried peppers (ancho, guajillo, and chiles de arbol), then remove the stems and seeds.

Set them in a large bowl and cover them with very hot water. Steep for 20 minutes to soften.

Drain, then transfer the softened peppers to a food processor.

Add the tomatoes, onion, serrano pepper, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Process until smooth.

Taste and adjust for salt. Thin with a bit of water, if desired.

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan to medium-high heat.

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then sear the shrimp for 30 seconds per side. Remove the shrimp and set it aside.

Add the diablo sauce and reduce the heat to medium.

Simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Return the shrimp to the pan and toss.

Simmer for 1-2 minutes to warm the shrimp and cook it through.


Notes:

Serve as is with rice and/or beans, or use as filling for an amazing taco. Heck, just get a fork and eat it all standing up.

There is no advice for storing leftovers because there is no way you're going to have leftovers.
