Instructions

• 1 Rinse the dried peppers (ancho, guajillo and chiles de arbol), then remove the

  Steep for 20 minutes to soften.
• 2 Drain then transfer the softened peppers to a food processor. Add the tomatoes,
  onion, serrano pepper, garlic, apple cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  Process until smooth. Taste and adjust for salt. Strain, if desired, for a
  smoother sauce. Thin with a bit of water, if desired.
• 3 Heat the vegetable oil in a pan to medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt
  and pepper, then sear the shrimp for 30 seconds per side. Remove the shrimp and
  set it aside.
• 4 Add the diablo sauce and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 10 minutes to let
  the flavors develop.
• 5 Return the shrimp to the pan and toss. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to warm the shrimp
  and cook it through. Serve.
