Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of the Salsa Verde

  1. 1

    Roast the Tomatillos

    Preheat your broiler. Place the tomatillos on a baking sheet and broil for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and soft.

  2. 2

    Blend the Salsa Verde

    In a blender, combine the roasted tomatillos, chopped cilantro, jalapeño pepper, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth. Add salt and lime juice, then blend again to combine. Set aside.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with black pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink.

  2. 4

    Add the Salsa Verde

    Pour the prepared salsa verde over the cooked shrimp. Stir gently to combine and let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
