Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°.
- Sauce: Spread out the tomatoes, onion, and garlic onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and drizzle on the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for a total of 25 minutes and with 5 minutes left in the cooking process add the seeded chiles right to the pan in the oven and cook for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables and chiles to a blender along with lime juice and cilantro and blend on high until smooth. Adjust seasonings more with salt and lime juice if needed. Keep warm in a pot on low heat.
- Shrimp: Add the oil to a large rondeau or frying pan over medium heat and cook the onions until browned and tender, which takes about 15 minutes.
- Next, stir in the garlic just until fragrant, which takes about 1 minute.
- Add in the shrimp and turn the heat to medium-high to high and cook for 60 to 90 seconds while constantly stirring.
- Season with salt and lime juice and stir to combine.
- Turn the heat off and then pour in the warm sauce and stir to combine. See notes.
- Serve with optional garnish of chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking. You can keep this warm covered in the pot for up to 15 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will freeze covered for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating and serving.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired number of shrimps to a medium-size saucepan and cook over medium heat just until hot. Note that whenever you reheat shrimp, they can easily overcook and sometimes become a little chewy.
- You may have up to 1 cup of sauce leftover and if you do it also goes great with pork and chicken. In addition, it freezes well covered for up to 6 months.
- If the shrimp is too spicy you can stir in some more lime juice or thin it out with some water.
