Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Diablo Shrimp:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2–3 tablespoons chili paste (adjust for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp:

  1. Clean and Prep the Shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they sear properly when cooked.

Make the Diablo Sauce:

  1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot and melted.
  2. Cook the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Add the Spices: Stir in the chili paste, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom and release their flavors.
  4. Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Cook the Shrimp:

  1. Cook the Shrimp: Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add them to the simmering sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
  2. Finish with Lime Juice: Once the shrimp are cooked, stir in the lime juice to add a fresh, tangy flavor that brightens the sauce.

Serve:

  1. Serve the Diablo Shrimp: Remove the pan from the heat. Garnish the shrimp with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
