CAMARONES al MOJO de AJO ( Garlic Shrimp

List of Ingredients




CAMARONES al MOJO de AJO ( Garlic Shrimp)


36 Shrimp (35-50 count) medium, unshelled
1/2 cup Chopped onion
4-6 Serrano chiles chopped
1/2 cup Cilantro chopped
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Lime juice

Turn the shrimp over and split down the middle without
breaking in half. If possible, remove the vein. Set aside.
In a blender, puree the whole garlic cloves, salt, pepper
and vinegar.
Marinate the shrimp in this puree for 30 to 45 minutes.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet. Add the minced garlic.
Sauté until golden, 3 minutes or so. Don't burn the garlic.
Then add the shrimp with the shell side up.
Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until
shrimp are opaque.
Sprinkle the limejuice over the dish and remove from heat and serve.
The recipe should serve 4 to 6 persons.
However, maybe only 3 to 5 if I am eating too.
I do love this dish.
BTW, you can prepare almost any white fleshed fish
with this same recipe and it will taste as good as the shrimp does.
Well, almost as good as the shrimp
