Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 1/2 lb 21/25 shrimp

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp sugar

1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced

2 tsp adobo sauce

4 tsp brown sugar

2 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Preparation

Stir together chipotle through cilantro in a small dish.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12 inch skillet over high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, toss shrimp, salt, pepper, and sugar in medium bowl. Add half of shrimp in a single layer and cook until spotty brown and edges turn pink, about one minute. Remove pan from heat; using tongs, flip each shrimp and let stand until all but very center is opaque, about 30 seconds. Transfer shrimp to large plate. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and shrimp; after second batch has stood off heat, return first batch to skillet.

Add sauce. Cover skillet and let stand until shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
