Camarones Huichol Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and set aside. Slice the red onion and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the whole shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
