Categories     main course

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds medium shrimp
2 tablespoons coarse salt
3 ancho chilies
1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 shallots, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped

Steps:

  • Peel the shrimp. Rinse them, and place them in iced water with the coarse salt. Soak for an hour.
  • Place the chilies in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak for an hour.
  • Remove the chilies from the water (reserving it) and take away the seeds and stems. Tear into large strips and place the chilies in a blender. Add the lemon or lime juice and enough of the soaking liquid to make a smooth puree. Set aside.
  • Rinse the shrimp under cold water.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the garlic and shallots. Cook until soft.
  • Add the shrimp and cook for one minute, then add one-and-a-half tablespoons ancho puree. Cook, stirring for a couple of minutes (beware of overcooking the shrimp). Taste and stir in more puree according to your taste. Season with salt and pepper and add the coriander. Serve immediately.

Not bad, but not great either. The shrimp were a bit overcooked and the sauce was a little bland.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used frozen shrimp and they turned out great. The sauce was a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out perfectly. The shrimp were cooked through but still tender, and the sauce was flavorful and slightly spicy. I served it over rice and it was a delicious and easy meal.

The sauce was amazing! It had just the right amount of heat and smokiness. I will definitely be using this recipe again.
