| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | Large shrimps, peeled and butterflied with tail |
| Shells left on | ||
| ¼ | cup | Fresh lime juice |
| ⅓ | cup | Light olive oil |
| 1 | medium | White onion, finely sliced |

| 4 | Chilies chipotles adobados, or to taste | |
| 1 | Garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped | |
| ⅓ | cup | Dry white wine |

Directions
Season the shrimps with salt, pepper, and lime juice and set aside to marinate for about 30 minutes. Heat the oil in a frying pan; add the drained shrimp, reserving any liquid, and sliced onion and fry, shaking the pan and tossing the ingredients, for about 3 minutes.
Remove shrimp and onion with a slotted spoon and set aside. In a blender, blend the tomatoes, chipotles and their liquid, and garlic to a textured sauce. Reheat the oil, add the sauce, and fry over high heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, for about 8 minutes. Add the wine, oregano, marinade, and salt to taste and cook for another minute. Add the shrimp/onion mixture and cook for about 2 minutes ~ the shrimps should be just cooked and still crisp.
