Pan-Seared Shrimp With Chipotle-Lime Glaze

DIRECTIONS

• Whisk the lime juice, cilantro, chipotle chile, adobo sauce, and brown sugar together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pat shrimp dry with paper towels; season with ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and sugar.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until smoking.
• Add half the shrimp to pan in a single layer; cook until spotty brown and just pink around the edges, about 1 minute.
• Off heat, use tongs to quickly flip over each shrimp and let stand until all but very center is opaque, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer shrimp to plate and cover with foil.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and return to high heat until just smoking; sear remaining shrimp.
• After second batch has stood off heat, return first batch to skillet and toss to combine.
• Add glaze, cover, and let stand to warm through glaze, about 1 minute.
• Toss shrimp again to coat and serve.
