MEXICAN SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Roast the tomatoes, onion, and jalapenos, until nicely browned on all sides, turned frequently.
• Note: you may get a lot of smoke from this so you might want to open a window.
• Transfer roasted vegetables to a metal bowl and cover with plastic wrap; allow to sweat and cool.
• When cool, peel the skins and discard.
• Remove any scorched areas from the onion by rubbing with paper towels.
• For a milder dish, seed the jalapenos, or otherwise, keep the fire dept.
• phone number handy.
• Puree the tomato, onion, jalapenos, 2 tbsp.
• cilantro, and oregano until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet.
• Add the sliced garlic and cook over medium heat until lightly golden, stirring frequently.
• Do not let garlic burn.
• Add the puree and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

• Simmer on medium-low heat until the shrimp are pink, about 3-5 minutes.
