Recipe Instructions

Recipe by: San Diego Union-Tribune To roast the flavorings, cook garlic on an ungreased griddle or in a heavy skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes; they will blacken in spots. Cool and peel.

Meanwhile, lay the onion slices on a piece of foil on the griddle; cook until browned and soft, about 5 minutes per side. Roast tomatoes on a baking sheet in the broiler until blackened in spots and soft, about 6 minutes per side. Cool and peel, collecting all the juices. Puree garlic, onion and tomatoes in a blender or food processor with pepper, cloves and water.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add puree all at once. Cook and stir several minutes until mixture darkens, then reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking and stirring until mixture is very thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chipotles a tablespoon at a time, tasting after each addition, until the level of spiciness suits you. Add salt to taste.

Add shrimp, raise heat to medium high and cook, stirring slowly, 3 to 4 minutes or until shrimp are just cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature. 6 servings. The sauce can be made several days ahead of time and refrigerated.
