Pound Medium−large shrimp; (about 50)  
Cup Cooked long−grain white rice; warm  
Tablespoon Finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves  
/2 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates  
Roasting the flavorings:  
On an ungreased griddle or heavy skillet set over medium, roast the garlic  
cloves, turning occasionally, until soft (they will blacken in spots), about  
1
5 minutes. Cool and peel. While the garlic is roasting, lay the onion out  
on a small square of foil, set on the griddle and let sear, brown and  
soften, about 5 minutes on each side.  
Roast the tomatoes on a baking sheet set 4 inches below a very hot broiler  
until blackened in spots and soft, about 6 minutes; flip and roast the other  
side. Cool and peel, collecting all the juices with the tomatoes.  
The sauce:  
Combine all the roasted ingredients in a food processor or blender, along  
with the pepper, cloves and 1/4 cup water. Process to a medium−smooth puree.  
In a very large skillet, heat the oil over medium−high heat. When hot enough  
to make a drip of the puree sizzle noisily, add it all at once. Stir for  
several minutes as the mixture sears and darkens then reduce the heat to  
medium−low and continue to cook, stirring regularly, until very thick, about  
5
minutes. A tablespoon at a time, stir in the Chipotle Seasoning Salsa (or  
chopped chipotle), tasting until the thick salsa suits your own penchant for  
spiciness. Taste, season with salt and remove from the heat.  
The shrimp:  
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the final joint and the tail intact.  
Return the skillet with the sauce to medium−high heat. Add the shrimp, then  
slowly stir and turn for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the shrimp are just  
cooked through. Season with salt if needed. Serve the shrimp with the rice.  
Garnish with cilantro.
