Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add minced habanero and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.

  3. Step 3

    Add shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side without stirring, until edges turn pink and opaque.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in diced tomatoes, stir, and simmer 3 minutes until sauce thickens and shrimp is fully cooked.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lime over the pan and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Serve shrimp mixture spooned onto crackers with guacamole on the side for dipping.
