Thirty-two 16/20 shrimp, deveined
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
2 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
8 drops Worcestershire sauce
15 Mexican chiles de arbol
10 large Roma tomatoes
8 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice

1 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • For the shrimp marinade: Combine shrimp with garlic, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Marinate 24 hours in fridge.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Opt for fresh shrimp whenever possible. Look for shrimp with a firm texture and a slightly sweet smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Proper cleaning: Devein and clean the shrimp thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any impurities and ensure a better taste.
  • Spice it up: Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness level of the dish to your preference. Add more or less chili peppers or cayenne pepper to suit your taste.
