How to Make Shrimp In Adobo Sauce
- Cover 10 dried ancho chiles with 2 cups of hot water and let them sit for 15 minutes, or until softened.
- Combine the softened chiles (reserving 1/2 cup of soaking liquid), 1/2 cup chopped white onion, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin in a blender. Puree until completely smooth.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chile puree and saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add 1/4 cup white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened considerably.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp to the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
- Serve hot with rice and tortillas, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
