How to Make Shrimp in a spicy chipotle Tomato Sauce
- The first step is to defrost the shrimp by placing them in a large colander and rinse them under cool running water for about 1-2 minutes until the ice exterior is removed. Make sure to shake the colander to remove any excess water.
- Then, place the shrimp in a large container and season with salt, pepper to your taste. Then add the juice of one lime, and toss to combine. Set aside and let us prepare the sauce.
- Using a blender, combine about 1 ½ crushed tomatoes, 1-2 garlic cloves, and the delicious secret ingredient, a small piece of chipotle pepper. Just remember, this goes a long way in flavor. Blend and set aside.
Let us combine Shrimp with Sauce:
- In a large non-stick skillet, add one teaspoon of oil. Continue by sauteing the onions for 2 minutes or until they look translucent. Then, add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes on each side.
- Add the tomato sauce mixture, stir to combine, and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Garnish with some green onions, and enjoy!
