We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Season the shrimps with salt and pepper and lime juice and set aside to marinate for about 30 minutes.

  • Step 2: Heat the oil in a frying pan; add the drained shrimp (reserving any liquid), and sliced onion and fry, shaking the pan and tossing (or stirring) the ingredients, for about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp and onion with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  • Step 3: In a blender jar, blend the tomatoes, chipotles, and their liquid, and garlic to a textured sauce.

  • Step 4: Reheat the oil, and add the sauce, and fry over high heat stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking for about 8 minutes. Add the wine, oregano, marinade and salt to taste and cook for another minute. Add the shrimp/onion mixture and cook for about 2 minutes--for the shrimps should be just cooked and not rubbery.

  • Step 5: Serve over rice.
