Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ancho Chile Butter

    In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with ancho chile powder, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced tomatoes and chopped spinach. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and the spinach is wilted.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, and stir in the ancho chile butter until the shrimp are well coated and heated through. Serve immediately.
