1 whole 

 

chipotle chile in adobo, minced

 

2 tsp 

 

adobo sauce

 

4 tsp 

 

brown sugar

 

2 Tbs 

 

lime juice

 

2 Tbs 

 

fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 Tbs 

 

vegetable oil

 

1½ lbs

¼ tsp

1

Prepare glaze: In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients and stir to mix. Set aside.

2

Heat ½ Tbsp. of oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, toss shrimp, salt, pepper and sugar in a medium bowl. Add half of the shrimp to the pan in a single layer and cook until spotty brown and the edges turn pink, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from heat. Using tongs, flip each shrimp and let stand until all but the center is opaque, about 30 seconds. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate. Repeat with the remaining ½ Tbsp. oil and the remaining shrimp.

3

After the second batch has stood off the heat, return the first batch to the skillet. Add the glaze mixture and toss until combined. Cover the skillet and let stand until the shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
