This deliciously smoky shrimp recipe comes together with only a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 600 g raw shrimp

  • 2 tbsp adobo sauce from canned chipotles

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground chiles de árbol

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  • Combine shrimp, chipotle sauce, lemon juice, 3 tbsp oil, salt, chiles de árbol and garlic; let stand for 10 min.

  • Heat remaining 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet set over medium-high. Add shrimp mixture, reserving 2 tbsp of the marinade; discard remaining marinade. Cook shrimp until pink, 2 min per side. Stir in reserved marinade in the last 1 min of cooking, scraping up brown bits from bottom of the pan. Set aside and keep warm.
