Shrimp Al Pastor 

1 oz dried guajillo peppers (seeds removed)
½ cup water
¼ cup achiote
¼ cup chipotle peppers in adobo
2 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp honey
lbs 31/40 shrimp

  • Place dried guajillos and water into a small saute pan, cover, and cook on low heat until peppers are soft.  You may adjust water as needed. 
  • Once soft, place the peppers into a blender cup with Achiote, Chipotle Peppers in Adobo, Chopped Garlic, Kosher salt, and Honey.
  • Blend until smooth with no pieces.  (if too thick to blend fully add a tbsp of water at a time until it thins enough to blend.)  
  • While the marinade is blending, peel and devein your shrimp, being sure to remove the tail.
  • Once marinade is complete add shrimp and marinade to a bowl and mix until shirmp are evenly coated. 
  • Place the bowl into the refrigerator and allow to sit for at least 4 hours.
  • Place a small amount of oil into your saute pan and heat on medium heat.
  • Once your pan and oil are hot, add your shrimp and sear until cooked.
