Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 dried guajillo chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 2 dried chipotle chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chili sauce: In a small pot, bring the dried guajillo and chipotle chilies to a boil in about 1 cup of water. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until softened. Drain and transfer the chilies to a blender, along with the chopped tomatoes, garlic, and broth. Blend until smooth.
  2. Cook the shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
  3. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened. Pour in the blended chili-tomato sauce and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Combine shrimp and sauce: Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat. Let everything simmer together for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the shrimp absorb all that delicious flavor.

Serve and enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve your shrimp a la diabla with rice, tortillas, or crusty bread to soak up the spicy sauce.

Notes

  • If you prefer a milder version, reduce the number of chipotle chilies or omit them entirely.
  • For a smokier flavor, roast the tomatoes and onion before blending them with the chilies.
  • This diablo shrimp pairs perfectly with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh avocado salad.
