A flavorful and spicy shrimp dish with a rich chipotle sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Season the shrimp with sea salt, black pepper, and the juice of one lime. Let it marinate for 20 minutes.
Marinating the shrimp enhances its flavor and tenderizes it slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
In a blender, combine the tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and garlic. Blend until smooth.
Adjust the number of chipotle peppers based on your spice preference.
In the same frying pan, pour the blended sauce and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stirring prevents the sauce from sticking to the pan and burning.
Add the white wine and oregano to the sauce. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
The wine adds depth to the sauce; let it reduce slightly for a richer flavor.
Return the shrimp to the pan and mix with the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
Ensure the shrimp are well coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Serve the shrimp and sauce hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve with rice or crusty bread to complement the dish.
