"This recipe comes from The Art of Mexican Cooking. Very authentic. Update: Some may find this recipe a bit on the 'spicy' side so I've made notations to "adjust to taste" on some ingredients. On ocassion I have substituted canned tomatoes."

Step by Step Method

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.

So many recipes that I try are excellent but this recipe is exceptional. Lip tingling tasty! GW I followed your ingredient list to the letter but my preparation steps were different. I wanted to fast fry the shrimp so I browned the onion, put it aside. Then in a small saucepan I combined the tomatillo, 4 chipotles in adobo and the garlic, simmered for about 8 minutes, added the Gewurztraminer wine and oregano, mixed in the browned onions. When it was dinnertime I slowly reheated the sauce, Flash fried the shrimp for abour 2 1/2 minutes - just pink poured over the sauce and enjoyed a fabulous taste feast. Served with a simple spinach salad #26151 Did I say that I love this recipe
