Simple recipe but not for the weak hearted. Surprisingly the amount of chile & garlic does not detract from the flavor of the shrimp. I recommend that you make your own bolillos to go with the shrimp to soak up the sauce. Serve with green salad & noodles. Garnish the shrimp with the green onions
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs medium raw shrimp, fresh or frozen and thawed,shelled but tail attached
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup lite olive oil or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 -5 dried arbol chiles, crumbled or 4 fresh jalapenos (use other hot peppers to suit your taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
salt
3 green onion tops, only chopped
4 -8 bolillos bread (see mexican bolillos, crusty oval rolls) or 2 loaves mini crusty french bread
Directions:
1. In a large wok or heavy skillet heat the butter& oil until foamy.
2. Add garlic, chillies, Lime juice& salt.
3. Cook& stir for 2 minutes.
4. Add and toss the shrimp, stirring all the while until the shrimp have just turned color (opaque).
5. Do not over cook or they will be dry& tough.
