CAMARONES DIABLOS (DEVIL SHRIMP)



Camarones Diablos (Devil Shrimp) image

This dish is very spicy, somewhere between sweating brow and teary eyes! Sometimes you just have to wake up your taste buds. Serve over brown rice cooked in chicken broth and butter that is reminiscent of risotto. I have made the rice with water and bouillon instead of broth, with very little change in the flavor or texture. Like so many dishes, this one is better the next day. I adapted this recipe from the chipotle shrimp recipe on this site.

CAMARONES DIABLO



CAMARONES DIABLO image

Categories     Shellfish     Sauté     Quick & Easy

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 carrots, sliced into large-sized pieces
2 stalks celery, sliced into large-sized pieces
1/2 pounds mushrooms, sliced into large-sized pieces
1 onion, halved and sliced
1-1/2 pounds raw, unpeeled shrimp
6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons bottled chili sauce
1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon minced parsley
3/4 teaspoons liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons black pepper
cayenne pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse shrimp in cold water and pat dry; set aside. Saute or steam carrots, celery, mushrooms, and onion until tender; set aside and keep warm. Place butter, olive oil, chili sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, liquid smoke, oregano, paprika, thyme, hot pepper sauce, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a large skillet. Bring mixture to a simmer, simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp. Turn heat to high and cook, stirring often, until shrimp just curl and turn pink, 5 to 10 minutes (do not overcook or shrimp will be tough). Add steamed vegetables. Serve immediately with steamed white rice or seasoned rice.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp will have a sweet, briny flavor and a firm texture. Avoid shrimp that is discolored or has an off odor.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. You can also devein the shrimp, if desired. To devein a shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut down the back of the shrimp. Then, use your fingers to remove the dark vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize the shrimp and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and lemon marinade, a spicy chili-lime marinade, or a creamy garlic-herb marinade.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it is important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until it is pink and opaque.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Camarones Diablo is a delicious and easy-to-make shrimp dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful tomato-based sauce that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy shrimp dish, give Camarones Diablo a try.
