Techniques
Peel the papery husks off the tomatillos and rinse off the stickiness.
  • tomatillos
  • cloves of garlic
Halve the tomatillos and put them cut side down in a skillet over medium-high heat with garlic cloves; cook 3 to 4 minutes until browned underneath and the juices reduce and turn caramelly.
Flip and cook 3 minutes more, until soft.
  • 1–2 whole chipotle chili
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup water
Put the hot tomatillos and garlic in the food processor with one or two canned chipotle chilies, about a generous half teaspoon of salt and about a quarter cup of water; blend and taste.
Blending the chipotle salsa
  • olive oil
  • 1 whole sliced onion
  • shrimp
Heat a skillet over medium, drizzle with olive oil, add sliced onion and shrimp and stir-fry until the shrimp are about two thirds done and just turning pink.
  • salsa
Add salsa to taste and stir until the shrimp look glazed.
  • fresh cilantro
Pour onto a platter and top with fresh cilantro.
