Camarones en Mojo de Ajo Shrimp Wet with Garlic



Camarones en Mojo de Ajo
Shrimp Wet with Garlic

Mexico’s version of scampi: Mmmm . . .


5 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon coarse salt
5 black peppercorns
2 chiles de arbol
3 tablespoons butter
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled
molcajete
In a molcajete, crush and grind the garlic and salt to a paste. Then grind in the black peppercorns and chiles de arbol. Set aside.
In a medium sauté pan, melt the butter until it is bubbling but not browned; add the shrimp. Sauté until almost done, then add the garlic mixture. Continue cooking until the shrimp are done and the garlic has fully cooked.
Serves 4
