    Remove the stems and seeds from the dried guajillo peppers. Soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.

    Add Tomatoes and Peppers

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and softened guajillo peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down.

    Add Stock and Shrimp
