Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Boil guajillo and árbol chiles with tomatoes until soft (about 10 mins).
  2. Blend softened chiles, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and broth until very smooth.
  3. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; discard solids.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook 1-2 mins per side until pink.
  5. Pour the strained sauce over the shrimp. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately over white rice, garnished with cilantro and lime.
Pro tip: For an extra smoky kick, lightly toast the dried chiles in a dry pan before boiling.
