Camarones al Chipotle

Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the sour cream, 2 chipotle peppers, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons lime juice to a blender; blend on high speed for 30 seconds until smooth and bright red, then set aside.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and slides quickly when you tilt the pan, about 60 seconds.

3. 3

   Add the shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer; let them cook without stirring for 2 minutes until the undersides turn from translucent to opaque pink.

4. 4

   Flip each shrimp over one at a time using tongs and cook for another 1 minute until the second side is also opaque pink; you should have cooked shrimp throughout.

5. 5

   Pour the chipotle sauce over the cooked shrimp and stir gently with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds until the shrimp are evenly coated.

6. 6

   Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the shrimp and sauce to a serving plate or bowl.
