How to cook deliciously - Cilantro Lime Shrimp

1. Stage

Heat the oil: Place a large sauté pan or a wok over your strongest burner on high heat. Let the pan heat up for a minute and then add the oil. Heat the oil until it's shimmering. If it starts to smoke, remove the pan from the heat for a moment.

2. Stage

Add the chiles to the pan: Toss chiles to coat with oil. Cook 30 seconds.

3. Stage

Add the shrimp and garlic, sprinkle with salt: Add shrimp and toss to coat with oil. Let the shrimp cook undisturbed for 1 minute before tossing again so they get a little bit of a sear. Stir-fry until cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Stage

Turn off the heat, mix in the cilantro and lime juice: Add the cilantro and lime juice. Stir. Serve hot or at room temperature. Serve alone, over rice, or in a folded heated flour or corn tortilla.
