Heat a griddle over high heat and roast the peppers until they turn dark, place the peppers in a bag to sweat and remove the skin, veins, and seeds. Set aside. Heat a skillet over medium heat with the oil, cook the garlic, onion, tomato, and chipotle pepper for 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste, oregano, and cumin. Blend the previous mixture with cream cheese and sour cream until you achieve a smooth sauce. For the filling, heat a skillet over medium heat with the butter, cook the onion, tomato, and shrimp, season to taste, pour in the sauce you blended earlier. Cook for 3 more minutes. Stuff the peppers with the previous mixture and the Oaxaca cheese, broil in the oven until the cheese melts. Serve with the chipotle sauce you cooked at the base and garnish with parsley.
