Homemade Salsa Verde
- 1 lb tomatillos
- 6 Anaheim green chiles
- 2 jalapeños
- 2 serrano chiles
- 1 large white onion
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch cilantro
Instructions
Homemade Salsa Verde
- Peel the outer skins/husks off the tomatillos, onion and garlic. Cut the stems off the peppers and slice in half lengthwise. Cut the onion in half. (See Note 1)
- In the Dutch oven or large stock pot bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the tomatillos, chiles and onion. Cook for 8 minutes.
- Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and place all the peppers, tomatillos, onion, garlic and cilantro in a food processor, blender or Vitamix, and process until smooth. Use 2 cups of the salsa for this recipe and reserve remaining for other use.
Shrimp
- In a bowl season the shrimp with kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
- In a large skillet add oil and sautée shrimp 2 minutes per side. Pour the 2 cups of salsa verde on top and cook 2 minutes more, stirring. Stir in half of the cilantro leaves.
- Spoon over steamed rice and top with remaining cilantro.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can either grill or place the tomatillos, chiles and onion under the broiler for a charred flavor instead of boiling, then proceed with puréeing.
