Chile Garlic Shrimp

I accidentally stumbled onto this recipe one week night and fell in love. It takes minutes to throw together and the flavor is fantastic. I omitted the butter. You could serve this with cauliflower rice, boston lettuce to make lettuce wraps or simply eat alone.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step guajillo peppers, cut in half lengthwise, and discard seeds.  Cut peppers into 1 inch pieces and place guajillos in a nonstick skillet.  Cook over medium heat, stirring until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Transfer guajillos to a blender jar.  Process until finely ground.  Add water, Worcestershire, chopped garlic, and 1/2 tsp. salt and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.  Set aside.
  3. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.  Sprinkle with cumin, cayenne, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.  
  4. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in the empty skillet over hight heat, just until smoking.  Add 1/2 of shrimp in an even layer and cook, without stirring, until beginning to brown, but still raw on top, about 2 minutes.  Repeat with 1 Tbsp. of oil for the remaining shrimp.  Transfer to a bowl with the first batch.
  5. Reduce heat to low and remaining 1 Tbsp oil and sliced garlic to empty skillet.  Cook until garlic is fragrant and golden brown, about 2 minute.  Stir in reserved chile sauce and shrimp.  Cook until shrimp is opaque, about 1 minute.  Off heat, add lime juice and butter until melted.  Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with cilantro.
