Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 lb 21/25 shrimp
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced
2 tsp adobo sauce
4 tsp brown sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Steps:

Stir together chipotle through cilantro in a small dish. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12 inch skillet over high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, toss shrimp, salt, pepper, and sugar in medium bowl. Add half of shrimp in a single layer and cook until spotty brown and edges turn pink, about one minute. Remove pan from heat; using tongs, flip each shrimp and let stand until all but very center is opaque, about 30 seconds. Transfer shrimp to large plate. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and shrimp; after second batch has stood off heat, return first batch to skillet. Add sauce. Cover skillet and let stand until shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
