  • Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Let them marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet, add the drained shrimp, reserving the liquid, and fry them with the onion; stirring the ingredients for about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp and onion to another container.
  • In the blender, place the tomatoes, garlic cloves, chipotles, and their juice. Blend all the ingredients to form a sauce. Reheat the oil, add the sauce, and fry it over high heat, stirring to prevent sticking for 8 minutes.
  • Add the wine, oregano, marinade, salt to taste, and cook for a few more minutes. Add the shrimp and onion mixture and heat for 2 minutes.
  • Serve with a bit of sour cream to reduce the spiciness of the chipotle.
