CAMARONES A LA DIABLA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl or saucepan, add dried guajillo and arbol chiles. Add very hot or boiling water until chiles are fully submerged. Cover with a lid or large plate and let sit for 15 minutes, until chiles have softened.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the softened chiles to a large blender. Add the tomatoes, garlic, onion and salt. Puree until completely smooth. Taste and season with more salt, if necessary. If the sauce is too spicy, add more tomatoes.
• Heat a large saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and shrimp. Cook shrimp for 1 minute per side, or until shrimp is light pink.
• Add the red chile sauce to the pan or skillet and mix together to coat the shrimp. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and hot.
• Remove the pan or skillet from the heat and serve alone as an appetizer or with Authentic Mexican Rice as a meal.

DEVILED SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl mix the shrimp with the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Let it rest for 15 minutes to marinate.
• Combine roasted tomatoes, garlic, chipotle peppers and its adobo in a blender, process until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and the shrimp without the marinated juices. Slightly cook shrimp turning quickly to avoid overcooking. About 4 minutes. The shrimp will keep cooking later with the sauce. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add the sauce and fry stirring constantly to prevent it to stick to the bottom. Simmer for about 10 minutes; if using the white wine add now and also add the thyme. Season with salt.
• Add the shrimp and cook for 2 more minutes. Serve over white rice and sprinkle with cilantro if desired. Do not overcook the shrimp or it will taste like rubber. (Smile)
