Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Don’t cook the shrimp for too long or they will become chewy.
  • tip 2
    It’s better to use fresh shrimp, but if they aren’t readily available you can use frozen shrimp also. Just follow the defrosting instructions on the package.
  • tip 3
    This is a spicy dish, but if you prefer a milder version, skip the chipotle peppers and only use jalapeños with the veins and seeds removed.
