How To Make el diablo shrimp

  • Step 1
    Heat oil in a large shallow pan on medium heat.
  • Step 2
    Add a handful of chile de arbol (found in any store that sells mexican products). Sautee until a dark red color and oil is infused with flavor.
  • Step 3
    Once the chilis are nice and toasty, remove them from the pan on a seperate plate and sprinkle with cheese and garlic salt. Leave the oil in the pan.
  • Step 4
    Next add the shrimp and sautee until an opaque pink color.
  • Step 5
    While the shrimp is cooking, mince the garlic good and add to the shrimp while sauteeing.
  • Step 6
    Sautee for another 2-3 minutes then add the parmesan cheese if desired then cover with lid or if you would prefer the mexican cheese remove shrimp from the pan onto a pasta dish or big serving bowl. then drizzle the olive oil from the pan over the shrimp.
  • Step 7
    At this point toss with garlic salt and add the queso fresco (fresh mexican cheese) and pepper and enjoy dipping the bread and eating the shrimp with a ice cold beer.
