- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 4 -5 dried pasilla negro chilies, stems removed, cut into rings with scissors, seeds discarded (1 1/2 ounces total)
- 1⁄2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- salt
- 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined, tail segment intact
- 1⁄4 cup cilantro leaf
directions
- In a very large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the chile pieces and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. (Don’t cook them too long, as they’ll burn and taste bitter). Add the red onion and cook another minute while the onion wilts slightly. Add the balsamic vinegar, sugar, 1/3 cup water and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Simmer another minute to allow the flavors to come together.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet with the sauce. Cook, stirring, until they are just barely cooked through (they will turn pink but be slightly translucent at the center), 6 to 8 minutes. Put the shrimp into a shallow serving bowl and garnish with the cilantro leaves. This dish is delicious served warm, at room temperature or cool.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
