How to Make Shrimp In Chipotle Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss until fully coated.
- Marinate for at least 5 minutes while preparing the sauce.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy frying pan or cazuela over medium-high heat.
- Add 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, and sauté until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, and cook, stirring constantly, until the color deepens, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the tomato mixture to a blender using a slotted spoon, letting excess oil drip back into the pan.
- Reserve the oil in the pan.
- Add 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1/4 cup adobo sauce, 1/2 cup cola, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to the blender.
- Blend until smooth but slightly textured.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- Return the pan with the reserved oil to medium-high heat. Heat until the oil shimmers.
- Add half of the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate using a slotted spoon.
- Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the chipotle sauce.
- Fry, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and deepens in flavor, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked shrimp and cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
- Divide the shrimp evenly among warmed individual plates.
- Spoon the remaining chipotle sauce over each serving and serve immediately.
