Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Shrimp peeled, deveined and tail-on, raw large or jumbo
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 to 8 guajillo chili California, or New Mexico, red chile pods, rinsed, stems, seeds, and veins removed
- 1 to 3 chiles de arbol peppers optional for added spice
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 Roma tomato quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Peel and devein shrimp.
- Sprinkle the shrimp evenly with salt and set aside.
- Add both kinds of chiles to a pot and add enough water so they are just covered. Bring water to a boil. Lower the heat and cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until softened.
- Drain cooked pods and discard water.
- Puree softened chiles with ½ cup fresh water, garlic, and tomato, in a blender until smooth and set aside.
- Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil to the pan.
- Add shrimp to the pan, and cook for 1 minute per side. Once the shrimp turns pink, it is cooked so be careful not to overcook.
- Add the chile sauce slowly. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 4 to 5 minutes.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
- Freeze the diabla sauce separately for up to 6 months.
- Serve over cilantro lime rice.
- Enjoy with warm corn tortillas.
- Add sliced avocado for a cooling contrast.
- Use as a filling for shrimp tacos.
- Remove tails and make Sheet Pan Spicy Shrimp Nachos!
