Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Pour in the heavy cream and lime juice, stirring until the sauce is well mixed. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve the shrimp over cooked rice and alongside steamed vegetables. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
