Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil, then add the Roma tomatoes and dried guajillo chiles. Simmer for about 10 minutes until tender.
- Carefully transfer the cooked tomatoes and chiles to a blender with any remaining water. Add the chipotle pepper if desired and blend until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the raw shrimp with lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Allow to sit for a few minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter and olive oil, then saute the shrimp for about 1 minute on each side until pink and opaque.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, toss in the onion and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour the blended sauce into the skillet with onions and garlic, cooked for 2 minutes, then return the shrimp to the skillet and simmer for 2 more minutes.
- Remove from heat, garnish with cilantro or parsley, and serve with lime wedges, rice, and corn tortillas.

Notes
Adjust the heat level by changing the number of chile de arbol. Store leftover sauce separately for best quality.
