Shrimps in Chipotle Sauce (Camarones Enchipotlados)
Source: PepperFool
1 Lb. Large shrimp -- peeled and butterflied with tail & shells left on
1/4 Cup Fresh lime juice
1/3 Cup Light olive oil
1 medium White onion -- finely sliced
3/4 Pound tomatoes -- (about 2 medium) broiled
4 Chipotle Chile in Adobo or to taste
1 clove Garlic -- peeled and roughly chopped
1/3 Cup Dry white wine
1/4 Teaspoon Dried oregano -- Mexican if possible
Season the shrimps with salt, pepper, and lime juice and set aside to marinate
for about 30 minutes. Heat the oil in a frying pan; add the drained shrimp,
reserving any liquid, and sliced onion and fry, shaking the pan and tossing the
ingredients, for about 3 minutes. Remove shrimp and onion with a slotted spoon
and set aside. In a blender, blend the tomatoes, chipotles and their liquid, and
garlic to a textured sauce. Reheat the oil, add the sauce, and fry over high
heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, for about
8 minutes. Add the wine, oregano, marinade, and salt to taste and cook for
another minute. Add the shrimp/onion mixture and cook for about 2 minutes, the
shrimps should be just cooked and still crisp.
