Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Guajillo Sauce

    In a small pot, bring water to a boil and add the dried guajillo chiles. Let them simmer for about 10 minutes until they soften. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Blend the Sauce

    Once the chiles are cool, remove the stems and seeds. Place them in a blender with minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to achieve a sauce-like consistency.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the wild shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the guajillo sauce over the cooked shrimp and toss to coat. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro and diced avocado. Serve immediately.
